In this short, wordless video we see the process of Canadian coins being produced by machinery.  Students could discuss the importance of money in society and review the history of money. They could review the value of the various coins and do coin rubbings to see the artwork from the coin appear on paper. Students could write about the procedure of producing money. This video is also useful for discussions and research about mechanization in manufacturing.
