美国造币厂硬币课堂网站焕然一新

美国造币厂于 12 月 17 日推出了全面改版的“钱币课堂”网站，为幼儿园至六年级的学生教师提供适合年龄的教育资源。

The United States Mint launched a completely overhauled Coin Classroom website Friday, providing age-appropriate educational resources for teachers of students in grades kindergarten through six.

美国造币厂周五推出了一个彻底改版的硬币课堂网站，为幼儿园至六年级的学生教师提供适合年龄的教育资源。

The revamp of the U.S. Mint Coin Classroom online at kids.usmint.gov is a second recent major web project for the Mint, completed since the makeover of the main site, usmint.gov, just 45 days previously, in October.

kids.usmint.gov 在线美国造币厂硬币课堂的改造是造币厂最近的第二个大型网络项目，自 10 月份主网站 usmint.gov 改造以来仅 45 天就完成了。

The redesigned homepage of the U.S. Mint Coin Classroom website promotes activities, games, videos, and resources for kids and educators alike, according to Mint representative Brian Martin.

据造币厂代表布莱恩·马丁 (Brian Martin) 介绍，美国造币厂硬币课堂网站重新设计的主页为儿童和教育工作者宣传活动、游戏、视频和资源。

The new kids site features a more streamlined look, refreshed graphics, simpler navigation, and improved mobile responsiveness. It’s the second comprehensive update to the site’s theme since 2018 and represents a joint effort by the Mint and its parent agency, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, according to Martin.

新的儿童网站具有更精简的外观、更新的图形、更简单的导航以及改进的移动响应能力。马丁表示，这是自 2018 年以来该网站主题的第二次全面更新，代表了造币厂及其上级机构美国财政部的共同努力。

“I enjoyed collaborating with the Mint team,” said Kate McCurley, an information technology specialist at Treasury.

“我很享受与造币厂团队的合作，”财政部信息技术专家 Kate McCurley 说道。

“It’s rare to see a government site that’s creative and educational with games and animated characters. I hope the students and potential future numismatists enjoy interacting with the site.”

“很少有政府网站具有游戏和动画角色的创意和教育意义。我希望学生和未来潜在的钱币学家喜欢与该网站互动。”

The Mint first launched its educational site in 1999, developed in accordance with Vice President Al Gore’s “Information Superhighway.” This initiative sought to build interest in coins as tangible artifacts of history, art, and math, and to encourage young people to build their own coin collections.

造币厂于 1999 年首次推出其教育网站，该网站是根据副总统阿尔·戈尔 (Al Gore) 的“信息高速公路”开发的。该倡议旨在激发人们对硬币作为历史、艺术和数学的有形文物的兴趣，并鼓励年轻人建立自己的硬币收藏。

Considering the Mint currently reaches over a million people a year with its education program — which includes not just a website, but printed materials, videos, and events —it’s safe to say the initiative has been successful at the agency level, according to Martin.

马丁表示，考虑到造币厂目前每年的教育计划覆盖超过一百万人——其中不仅包括网站，还包括印刷材料、视频和活动——可以肯定地说，该计划在机构层面取得了成功。

“People don’t normally think of government I.T. as an exciting career field,” said Shanté Corbitt, I.T. specialist at the Mint. “When I showed the website to my children, they couldn’t believe this is what I get paid to do. It’s exciting to see the impact you can have on young people.”

“人们通常不认为政府 IT 是一个令人兴奋的职业领域，”造币厂 IT 专家 Shanté Corbitt 说。 “当我向我的孩子们展示该网站时，他们简直不敢相信这就是我拿钱做的事情。看到您对年轻人产生的影响真是令人兴奋。”

With the arrival of exciting new Comic Art collectible products in 2025, incorporating gold coins and silver medals, and redesigned circulating coinage celebrating the nation’s semiquincentennial anniversary in 2026, expect to see more from the Mint’s education team in the years to come, Martin predicts.

马丁预测，随着 2025 年令人兴奋的新漫画艺术收藏品的到来，其中包括金币和银牌，以及重新设计的流通硬币以庆祝 2026 年国家五十周年纪念日，预计在未来几年，造币厂的教育团队将推出更多产品。

The U.S. Mint Coin Classroom website introduces collectors to U.S. Mint history dating back to its establishment by Congress in 1792 and continuing to the present.

美国造币厂钱币课堂网站向收藏者介绍美国造币厂的历史，其历史可以追溯到 1792 年国会成立至今。

The site details the development of the production of United States coins, from design through die manufacturing to eventual production and final distribution.

该网站详细介绍了美国硬币生产的发展情况，从设计到模具制造，再到最终生产和最终分销。

The website also addresses production executed at the Mint facilities in West Point, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Denver, Colorado; and San Francisco, California. Also discussed are Mint headquarters in Washington, D.C., and the United States Bullion Depository in Fort Knox, Kentucky. The “Collectors’ Corner” link addresses ways to get started in collecting, how to assemble a collection and how to expand one’s numismatic interests.

该网站还介绍了纽约西点造币厂的生产情况；宾夕法尼亚州费城；科罗拉多州丹佛市；和加利福尼亚州旧金山。还讨论了位于华盛顿特区的造币厂总部和位于肯塔基州诺克斯堡的美国金银存放处。 “收藏家之角”链接介绍了开始收藏的方法、如何收集藏品以及如何扩展个人的钱币兴趣。

The coin games with numismatic themes have been expanded to 20, with instructions on how to play each option.

The U.S. Mint Coin Classroom’s educational resources provide at-home activities, lesson plans, and more.
