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.

Thanks to all members who submitted their ideas for our 2008 theme contest! This year's winning theme was submitted by Mark Keefner of West Hills,
Calif., and Mitch Ernst of Omaha, Neb. The second place theme, “Be a History Teacher: Give a Kid a Coin,” was submitted by Greg Roberts of

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
