The United States Mint H.I.P. Pocket Change™ Pals are off
on a new international adventure! Their visit to New Zealand rounds out
the Coins of the World cartoon series. Join them as they explore some of
the things that make New Zealand unique and some of the things that our
two nations share in common — like coins! As usual, travelers get a
passport, a travel allowance, and then a customs quiz at the end of the
trip, where they earn coin souvenirs through correct answers. The flight
is now boarding at gate 2005 for
New
Zealand! 
Although the Teachers' Guide isn't really new — it has
been a feature at the United States Mint H.I.P. Pocket Change™ Web site
for a while now — yet it's new in July because of a great design makeover.
The lesson plans and instructional resources aligned to national standards
in core content areas are now organized into file cabinets,
color-coordinated and labeled clearly so it's even easier for busy
teachers to find what they're looking for. But don't let the cute little
dish garden atop the cabinets fool you; the same great information hides
inside, waiting to satisfy your thirst to explore and discover worthwhile
teaching tools! Come and enjoy the redesigned
Teachers'
Guide. 
You're not likely to find the Marine Corps 230th
Anniversary Silver Dollar in your change, but Plinky likes it. This new
dollar commemorates the United States Marine Corps, an organization that
dates back to the Revolutionary War. Plinky will be happy to tell you all
about it at July's
Coin
of the Month page.
Question: How long has the facility in
Philadelphia been located there?
Answer: The very
first location of the United States Mint was Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania...but not in the building that houses it now. In fact, the
present building, which opened in 1969, is the fourth location within
Philadelphia for that branch.
