Coins are a significant part of every country’s economy and a representation of their culture. This project allows a student to choose a coin of their interest. The coins can come from any nation or government, past or present.

This project has students working in pairs with as many teams as needed. Students are to identify a coin that interest them. They are to measure the coin and obtain its exact dimensions. Using Tinkercad they will design a box in which the coin will be placed in. The coin must fit inside the box. The team will then print the box. Pausing at roughly the 60% complete point they are to pause the build and place the coin in the unfinished trap. If placed properly and the dimensions of the trap are correct the box will continue to be printed around the coin. The team will then (using the internet) identify where the coin was minted, and a significant historical event that happened the year the coin was minted.
