2009 National Coin Week Review
“Lincoln’s Legacy: A Nation United” has been chosen as the theme of the 86th annual National Coin Week. The theme
will help collectors everywhere celebrate the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, and his impact on history and numismatics.
Lincoln Treasure Hunt The ANA is inviting its member clubs to get involved in a treasure hunt; participants will be on the lookout for the following
items related to Honest Abe:
- A quarter featuring Lincoln
- A quarter featuring Lincoln’s birthplace
- A penny from the year of your birth
- A penny with a mint mark
- Any Presidential dollar
Everyone who completes the hunt can report their findings by coming back to this page and filling out an online form. All participants will be entered
in a drawing for Lincoln-related prizes like 1918 commemorative half-dollars featuring Lincoln, Civil War Fractional Currency and 2009 Lincoln
commemorative silver dollars. Clubs who promote the hunt in their communities are encouraged to provide prizes for local participants.

beginning with Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison.

LYRICS
MONEY IS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE,
AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSER YOU WILL FIND HISTORY IN EVERY COIN AND CURRENCY
MONEY IS LIKE EACH ONE OF US
A SYMBOL OF VALUE, FAITH AND TRUST
AND IF WE SEEK THE GREATER GOOD
WELL THEN IT'S UNDERSTOOD
CHORUS
MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND
KEEPING US ON COMMON GROUND
COMMUNICATING NIGHT AND DAY
ACROSS A SEA OF CHANGE
MONEY HAS A TALE TO TELL
AND IF WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN WELL
GLOBAL PEACE AND UNITY
WILL BE OUR LEGACY
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD THIS COULD BE
AND IF WE LOOK BEYOND TODAY
THERE'S A PART WE ALL CAN PLAY
LEADING A GREAT SOCIETY
KEEPING THE PEOPLE FREE
MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS CHANGING HANDS
IT CAN BE MAN UPLIFTING MAN
REFLECTING A GROWING BROTHERHOOD
SERVING IT THE WAY WE SHOULD
REPEAT CHORUS
