casting, mint
鋳 centers on shaping metal by pouring it into a mold: casting molten metal and minting coins.
鋳 combines 金 (metal) with 寿, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of shaping or forming, as in casting metal.
Metal 金 is poured into a mold shaped like 寿, creating a cast object. Picture molten metal flowing into a mold to mint coins.
For チュウ, imagine chewing gum shaped like a cast metal coin: chew -> チュウ, and the gum is minted in a mold.
