A method of producing a coupling for pipes includes the steps of subjecting a predetermined length of desired cross-sectional profiled material to a bending process in a mould having a semi-circular portion to form an item of semi-circular shape; forming bent ends of predetermined size on the profiled material; and then coining the bent ends to lie in an identical horizontal plane as a horizontal diameter of the item of semi-circular shape. The coining step is accompanied by a substep of forcing excess material from the predetermined length of profiled material into a zone between the semi-circular portion of the mould and the bent ends of predetermined size on the profiled material.
