Not just for kids...

H.I.P. (History in your Pocket) Pocket Change Sponsored by the U.S. Mint, H.I.P. (History In your Pocket) Pocket Change believes there is no such thing as small change and that every pocket coin represents a teachable moment. The page features links to K-12 lesson plans and unit plans based on coins, especially on the new state quarters (a new one will be released every 2.5 months through 2008) and the new "Westward Journey" commemorative nickels. In addition there are links to coin-related activities, including a very elaborate time-machine and fascinating facts about medallions, commemorative coins, and plain-old circulating coins (learn why it's called a "dime," for example).
