National Coin Week "Coin Drop" in Library

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.

Each National Coin Week has a theme chosen to engage people in learning more about money’s role in culture, art, history and science.

The 2007 National Coin Week theme "The Presidents are Coming!" celebrates the United States Mint's Presidential $1 Coin Program which begins 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 in 2007.
The $1 coins feature the Statue of Liberty on the reverse; and, the mottos "In God We Trust" and "E Pluribus Unum," the date and mintmark on the edge.

This year Marian College will participate in the ANA National Coin Week with a “Coin Drop.” This coin drop will involve plastic tokens dropped in the Library, P.E. Center, and Ruth Lilly Student Center, Monday thru Friday, 16-20 April. The tokens will be easily recognized by the words “ANA National Coin Week” on one side. If you find one of the tokens, come to Campus Operations, turn in the token and receive a newly minted Washington Presidential Dollar. The first of the dollars to be minted for this Presidential Coin series.
