1. A method of assembling coin components, the method comprising:
a. providing the coin components in an assembly station, the assembly station being moveable along a non-zero distance; and
b. continuously assembling the coin components over the non-zero distance along an assembling path by exerting two opposing forces generally coaxially with a central axis which is perpendicular to a face of one of the coin components, the two opposing forces exerted by at least one stationary cam, wherein the assembled coin components are fed into a second assembling station for assembly with at least one additional coin component.
