Overview

Pocket change has history and meaning far beyond its spending value! Grab your spare change, convert your bills to coins at the grocery, and start earning the currency honor! You might be a Numismatist in the making!

The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

8. Do two of the following:

a. Make enlarged drawings of both sides of ten different denominations or forms of coins for your country no longer in circulation.

b. Collect, identify, and mount 25 different foreign coins. No two coins alike.

c. Collect and mount a type set of coins from your country minted during the 20th Century.

d. Collect and mount a date set of series of coins for your country beginning with your birth year. (Commemorative, gold, proof, expensive, or rare coins need not be included.)
