United States Mint
The Challenge
The United States Mint produces circulating coinage for the nation to conduct its trade and commerce. Effective Web communication is critical because the United States Mint interacts with the public to market collectible coins and provide educational resources. To create and manage an interactive online educational site, the United States Mint contracted with us.
The Solution
Our team provides platform and creative services for The United States Mint H.I.P. Pocket Change™ Web site, an educational resource for teachers and students. We maintain site architecture, provide strategic consultation, produce graphics, and develop educational content for the Web site. The United States Mint H.I.P. Pocket Change work supplements our other United States Mint IT services, including support for enterprise information systems, infrastructure management, and maintenance of its other Web sites.
The Results

- Facilitated downloads of more than 700,000 teacher lesson plans in fiscal 2003
