Mint a Coin
Coins may seem like everyday objects, but they can tell archaeologists a lot about the people who use them. For this week’s OLogy Challenge, an at-home activity for students from the Museum’s science website for kids, create your piece of history by making your own coin. Then, submit your work for a chance to be featured on the Museum’s website! The challenge begins Wednesday, May 20. Take the Challenge
