Module 8: Daily Living

Module 8 Summary

The Royal Canadian Mint, with facilities in Winnipeg and the Ottawa region, mints (makes) everyday circulation and collector coins for Canada. The Winnipeg facility, shown here, mints over 1 billion coins a year, not only for Canada but also for countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean. In 2010, the Royal Canadian Mint was chosen as one of the top 100 employers for maintaining a positive workplace!

The coins in your pocket or purse are a means of exchange—a way to exchange your labour in the workplace for goods and services for daily living.

Throughout Module 8 you examined how the concepts from these lessons applied to an occupation or career you may wish to pursue. Regardless of whether you end up in the job you explored in the Unit 4 Project, the skills you acquired in Module 8 are skills for daily living!
