Thanks to everyone for taking part in the 85th Annual National Coin Week! A recap of the week’s events, including the National Treasure Hunt and club activities, will be posted on this page shortly.

Each year during the third week of April, the American Numismatic Association celebrates National Coin Week with exhibits, presentations and other activities at civic centers, libraries, and schools to let the world know about the joys of collecting and studying coins, paper notes, and other forms of money.

2008 National Coin Week
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:

  1. A coin with an animal
  2. The oldest coin you can find
  3. A coin from a different place (country or state)
  4. A coin from the year you were born
  5. 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.

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

BY MARK KEEFNER AND ALAN O'DAY
