Celebrate National Coin Week, April 16-22! Observed every third week of April, National Coin Week was established to attract the general public to the enjoyable hobby of coin collecting. This year's theme, "Our Money, Our Heritage, Our America" focuses on how our money tells the story of our country and helps form our national identity.
The Money Museum in Colorado Springs is celebrating National Coin Week all week long with free museum admission April 18-22, with an open house event on Saturday (10:30 am-5 pm). Open house activities include:
• Mini-Mint demonstrations throughout the day. Guests can receive a freshly-minted National Coin Week medalette.
• The "Plinko" prize drop, where every child can drop a plinko chip to win a prize.
• A raffle drawing to win 30 seconds in the Cash Tornado, where the winner gets to keep all the cash they can grab.
• Numismatic door prizes and trivia questions for a chance to win a silver coin.
There are also educational resources, live webinars, youth activities and more throughout the week available at NationalCoinWeek.org.
