Coins

by Dana Meachen Rau

Overview

Every coin in our pocket is a little work of art with a big story behind it. Beyond the usefulness of buying us the things we need or want, each coin represents a slice of American history. This book tells readers more about our metal currency, including the different collectible coins and how coins are made at the U.S. Mint. Activities are included so readers can put what they’ve learned to practical use.
