DECEMBER 9TH - SUSAN B ANTHONY ANNIVERSARY
The Susan B Anthony dollar went into circulation for the first time on this day in 1978. The coin was minted from 1979 - 1981, and again in 1999. In total, more than 888 million were produced.
Tip: What a great time to pull out loose change and see who in the family can come up with the most ways to make a dollar. OR for a little learner explain there are two sides to a coin and elements on the coin that are the SAME from coin to coin. Have your little learner design his or her own coin after working together to trace a circle and cut out the circle. The smallest amount of time you spend with your child is priceless in his or her eyes; you can take THAT to the bank!
