THE PLACE WHERE COINS ARE BORN Many people like collecting coins from around the world, but where do they actually come from? Who makes the coins? Well, people don’t make them in banks. They make them in mints and lots of countries have one. A mint is a special place – an interesting factory – where people make currency. There are huge machines to create the coins, but artists also work in mints.

1 A mint is similar to a bank. 2 Artists work before the machines make the coins. 3 Machines design the pictures on the coins.

First an artist designs the pictures for the two sides of the coin. Then he looks at the drawing and creates a big model coin in plaster. (This material is white and you may see it on a friend’s broken arm or leg.) Special machines then use this model to make the coin. There are six mints in the USA. The one in Philadelphia makes lots of coins. In one day it can produce more than thirty million! Half of these are ‘pennies’ – one-cent coins.

4 At the beginning, coins are big and white. 5 The Philadelphia mint makes fewer than 30 million one-cent coins.

Choosing what to do when you’re older isn’t easy. You need to think about what you like, what you don’t like and what the job involves. What’s the perfect job for these people? 1 Patricia

I love children, but I’m not very good at explaining things. I make my own clothes, like T-shirts and skirts. People like them, but they don’t think the same about my cooking. I’m lucky my sister is a very good cook! fashion designer / teacher / chef

2 Ian

My mother reads the news on TV. She talks to important politicians. Everybody talks to her in the street like she’s a film star. I’m quite shy, but I love the theatre and I take part in plays at school. politician / TV presenter / actor

3 Elliot

At school I was very good at maths and my university degree is in science. My dad says ‘Why don’t you become a scientist?’ But my passion is my guitar. I like teaching people how to play it. musician / teacher / scientist

4 Margaret

When I was little my favourite food was chicken with potatoes, but today I don’t eat meat. I’m a vegetarian and member of an animal protection group. I love being in the countryside and riding horses. chef / doctor / farmer

5 Simon

I love TVs, but I don’t like watching them. I like taking all the pieces out and putting them back together. When I was little, I wasn’t interested in toys from shops. I also make small cars and robots that move. journalist / inventor / actor

There are lots of different cleaning jobs: washing cars, cleaning boats and ships, cleaning other people’s houses. Duncan and Andrew are a different type of cleaner. Read and find out! I’m Duncan. I clean the Great Clock of Westminster, known as Big Ben, and other buildings in London with two other cleaners. Big Ben is a very old and beautiful monument. It’s a symbol in Great Britain and famous around the world. We hang from nylon ropes at a height of 100 metres – that’s quite dangerous. Also, the clock never stops! So while we are working, its hands are moving, too. Big Ben has got four faces and it’s seven metres wide. It takes us about a week to clean it – not bad!

1 He works on taller buildings. 2 He works at a height of less than 200 metres. 3 He doesn’t use nylon ropes.

I’m Andrew. I work in New York cleaning the windows of skyscrapers, the city’s very tall buildings. I love heights and skyscrapers like the Empire State Building! I usually work at very big heights – more than 250 metres. There are usually three or four cleaners working at the same time. We wear special belts and we use very strong ropes to hang outside the windows. But it’s dangerous when it’s windy or very cold.

4 He says his job is dangerous depending on the weather. 5 He cleans a historical monument. 6 He finishes this job in about seven days.
