THE PLACE WHERE COINS ARE BORN
Many people like collecting coins from
around the world, but where do they
actually come from? Who
makes the coins? Well,
people dont make them
in banks. They make
them in mints and lots
of countries have one. A
mint is a special place
an interesting factory
where people make
currency. There are huge
machines to create the
coins, but artists also work
in mints.
1 A mint is similar to a bank.
2 Artists work before the machines make
the coins.
3 Machines design the pictures on the
coins.

First an artist designs the pictures for
the two sides of the coin. Then he looks
at the drawing and creates a
big model coin in plaster. (This
material is white and you may
see it on a friends broken arm
or leg.) Special machines then
use this model to make the
coin. There are six mints in the
USA. The one in Philadelphia
makes lots of coins. In one
day it can produce more than
thirty million! Half of these are
pennies one-cent coins.
4 At the beginning, coins are big and
white.
5 The Philadelphia mint makes fewer
than 30 million one-cent coins.
