Votes for Titles!

The theme of this past week at the Smithsonian's Numismatic Department has been to narrow down the title of our upcoming traveling exhibition. For two days myself and the other interns went down to the public parts of the museum and asked people to fill out quick surveys on what they felt was the best title for our exhibit on American coins and the US Mint.

The titles that we have narrowed down are:
Coins! A History of Change
Mint Condition: The Story of America's Coins
Miniature Masterpieces: The Untold Story of Coins
(If you feel so inclined, you could leave a comment on which ones you like the most and why!)

At a place like the Smithsonian you definitely meet a diverse crowd, which is excellent for obtaining well-rounded survey results. It was interesting seeing what groups of people were more inclined to pick a certain title than others. Some people really took the time to give us great feedback and surprisingly many of those "people" were kids!

So, if you would like to contribute towards picking out the possible title of the exhibit (and perhaps hold a claim that you helped pick that title in the future) click on the link for facebook:
