PARTS OF THE COIN

8

Now that was cool! Lets talk a little about Coins There are specific parts to the make up of a coin There is the outer surface, which can have lettering, reeding, or designs on it, This is called the edge. Near the edge is the raised area called the rim. Both sides of most coins feature designs and artwork, often including an image of a person Which is known as a bust. The blank area of background on a coin is called the field. The term relief refers to the depth of the markings on the coin and how much they are raised above the field. Small letters show where the coin was minted, known as the mint mark, and the initials of the sculptor

or artist who designed and/or sculpted the coin. Other writing on a coin includes the date and the inscription.

WHERE IS THE U.S. MINT?

11

The United States Mint makes coins. Its main task is to make sure the people of the nation have enough coins to carry on daily business. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing makes paper money and, like the United States Mint, is an agency of the Department of the Treasury. In addition to coins for commerce (buying and selling), the United States Mint also makes other coins and medals for collectors.

Where is the Mint? There are six places around the country that make up this federal agency. Each one is called a “facility.”

Lets talk a little about Where are coins made Each of these location are called a facility Starting on the West Coast The first Facility is the San Francisco Mint Facility This facility makes commemorative coins, proof coins, and coin dies.

Moving East The second facility is the Denver Mint Facility At Denver they make circulating and commemorative coins, uncirculated coin sets, coin dies, and stores gold and silver. The Denver Mint also offers public tours. Next, is the Fort Knox Bullion Depository First opened to store gold, the U.S. Bullion Depository makes no coins. Next is the Washington, DC Headquarters

The headquarters of the Mint is in Washington, DC. Though this facility does not make coins, it is responsible for coin laws, research, marketing, and other important business related to the Mint’s operations. Next is Philadelphia Mint Facility This was the home of the first U.S. Mint Its original building was the first federal building under the Constitution! This facility makes circulating and commemorative coins, uncirculated coin sets, medals, and coin and medal dies. They also offers public tours. And lastly is West Point Mint Facility This facility makes commemorative coins, American Eagle proof and uncirculated bullion coins in gold, silver, and platinum. Now that we know a little more about coins and where they are made. Lets watch a short clip on How Coins Are Made….check it out

Cubmaster Minute: Pockets Many people of all ages have discovered the fun of collecting things. Whether you collect rocks or stamps or model cars, it's exciting to be on the watch for a new item to add to your collection and to see that collection grow. Some collections, such as rare sports cards, can be worth a lot of money. Other collections have no great dollar value. But there is one thing that you can collect which is worth more than anything else: good turns.

In the Scout Oath, we say, ‘To help other people at all times.’ That means that a Cub Scout is always on the lookout for ways to be helpful and kind to other people. When you accumulate acts of good will toward others, you are the wisest collector of them all.
