钱币学：对童子军的有益而有趣的爱好

如果您在沙发垫子下挖掘或扎根于汽车，您可以找到童子军的下一个爱好，这是一项有意义而令人着迷的努力，可以教会他们历史，经济学和收藏的乐趣。

Numismatics is a rewarding and fascinating hobby that can teach Scouts about history, economics and the enjoyment of collecting.

钱币学是一种有意义而有趣的爱好，可以教童子军有关历史，经济学和收藏的享受。

It’s a hobby that can begin with a glance under the couch cushions or a quick search through the car. Maybe your Scout will find a coin that sparks their interest or a bill with a unique design.

这是一种爱好，可以从沙发垫下面的一眼看，也可以快速搜索汽车。也许您的侦察兵会找到一枚硬币，以引发他们的兴趣或具有独特设计的账单。

Cultures began making metal and paper currency hundreds of years ago as a replacement for barter systems. People began collecting these currencies as early as the 15th century for their historical significance and not just their monetary value.

文化开始生产数百年前的金属和纸币，以替代易货系统。人们早在15世纪就开始收集这些货币的历史意义，而不仅仅是其货币价值。

Scouts can enter the world of numismatics via the Coin Collecting merit badge or the Adventures in Coins Adventure for Wolf Cub Scouts.

童子军可以通过收集功绩徽章的硬币或《狼幼崽童子军的硬币冒险冒险》进入数值世界。

If you and your Scout are in the Atlanta area later this month, you both can attend the annual National Money Show®, organized by the American Numismatic Association (ANA).

如果您和您的侦察兵本月晚些时候在亚特兰大地区，您都可以参加由美国钱币协会（ANA）组织的年度国家MoneyShow®。

On that Saturday, Scouts can attend the Young Collectors Corner Program, a free three-hour introduction to numismatics. The program is open to youth ages 5-17, with instructors available to teach the Coin Collecting merit badge. Attendees can also earn a Fun With Money patch. This program helps novice collectors learn about numismatics at a basic level. Scouts can register here.

Even if you cannot attend the National Money Show, joining the ANA can connect you and your Scout to regional shows and clubs around the country.

即使您不能参加国家货币展览会，加入ANA也可以将您和您的侦察员与全国各地的区域秀和俱乐部联系起来。

Educational resources are led by numismatic experts in Aristotle’s Vault, an online hub of videos teaching core necessities on coin grading, identifying counterfeits and more. Coin collecting is great for teaching art, history and economics. Each piece has a story to tell, and coins connect collectors to the past because they aren’t the only ones who have touched those coins.

教育资源是由亚里士多德金库（Aristotle's Vault）的钱币专家领导的，这是一个在线视频中心，教授硬币分级的核心必需品，识别伪造等等。收集硬币非常适合教授艺术，历史和经济学。每个作品都有一个故事要讲，硬币将收藏家与过去联系起来，因为他们并不是唯一触摸这些硬币的人。

A youth gold (digital) membership, available for free when Scouts complete the Coin Collecting merit badge, gives youth the opportunity to earn free collectible coins, learn about currency, participate in fun online activities and bid in monthly auctions using “funny money.” They can even earn a scholarship to a weeklong summer seminar, nicknamed “Coin Camp.” You can learn more about the Young Numismatist memberships here.
