What are the chances of finding a doubled die in boxes of new cents?

Thank you Larry J! So far they are looking like well preserved piggy bank Lincolns so I'm happy to take a break from all of those 2019P's and have some fun!

The Ballistic bags are new to me...Maybe they replaced the rolling cart ?? Anyway, the machinist is standing by while the the cents are ejected into the carts. Every once in a while they reach in and grab a few to look at with a loupe. What they are checking for I have no idea. Alignment, broken dies, you name it. But mint doubling I doubt. Have fun with your searches.

If memory serves me correctly the coins are still going into the carts... The inspection is done with a 3x loupe looking for obvious defects... There is a small bin that gets coins ejected into it at set intervals... If any defects are noticed the entire cart can be canceled if need be instead of an entire bag... With the size of the bags used these days getting a sealed mint bag takes on a whole new meaning

Thank you very much Jim! So that would be like the rolling cart that WaterSport was talking about. Since after the cents come from the press they get washed and dried, then they must go through some big chute to get to the huge ballistic bag. Something still doesn't seem right - let me go watch the Minting video again.

I know they ship in the pallet or tubs by weight now days but never saw them called ballistic bags before.
I wonder why they would be called that, if someone knows why the term ballistic applies to them or if the mint really used that term please explain it.

It reminds me of the "ballistic roll" offers for presi dollars. I thought they meant the rolls (like any coin roll) look like a shotgun shell like people sometimes called OBWs "shotgun rolls".
Remember those ads from every newspaper when presi dollars were new?

Ed, here is a short video of the Coin Bagging Station at the Denver Mint. There are 5 stations with bags and they are calling them Mylar bags.
