2008 National Coin Week Review
Money Makes the World Go Round
Learn how Money Makes the World Go Round with our "National Treasure
Hunt."
The National Coin Week bookmarks challenge you to find five different numismatic objects:
- A coin with an animal
- The oldest coin you can find
- A coin from a different place (country or state)
- A coin from the year you were born
- A coin that's not a coin (token, medal, etc.)
Once you complete the treasure hunt please contact us with this online form, to enter a drawing for local and
national prizes.

2007 National Coin Week Review
This year on Sunday, April
15, ANA club-members across the country are spending specially marked quarters in local retail stores and coffee shops.
If you find one of the quarters, contact the club nearest you from the List of Participating Clubs.
The first person to contact their local club wins a Mint set. Everyone who finds a specially marked quarter is entered into a drawing and the grand
prize winner receives a First Spouse $10 Gold Coin, valued at over $400.
The 2007 National Coin Week theme "The Presidents are Coming!" celebrates the United States Mint's Presidential $1 Coin Program which began in 2007.
The Mint is honoring our Nation's Presidents by issuing $1 circulating coins featuring images of the Presidents in the order they served,
beginning with Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison.
The $1 coins feature the Statue of Liberty on the reverse; and, the mottos "In God We Trust" and "E Pluribus Unim," the date and mintmark on
the edge.

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
