If you had the chance to design the coins for your country, what would they look like? Look at the coins in your pocket and ask yourself the following:

  • What do the coins you see tell you about their designers?
  • What might have been some other choices to put on these coins?
  • Do you like the way these coins look? Why, or why not?
  • How do you think these coins were made?
