Ready for Your Publications

The United States Mint is proud to serve the American people by producing coins that are "History In your Pocket", reflecting the history and rich diversity of our national heritage.  This is the basis of the United States Mint H.I.P. Pocket Change™ Web site, a cross-curricular educational resource for kids, parents and teachers that use coins as a vehicle to teach lessons aligned with national standards in language arts, math, social studies, science, and financial literacy.  H.I.P. Pocket Change is an entertaining and feature-rich Web site that makes learning and coins fun and exciting.
