Abstract
This paper reflects on a learning and teaching project undertaken at a large Australian university which investigated classroom use of online numismatic resources. It describes four methods of using coins in online, traditional, and blended units, discusses successes and failures, and offers recommendations for adapting the ideas elsewhere. Topics include threshold concepts, online and face-to-face discussions concerning coins, how lecture information might be supplemented with eBooks, and online quizzes. Coins showed surprising adaptability. The overall response from students and academics was positive. Trials were most successful when material aligned with specific assessment tasks.
