Bill Maurer

'World's oldest' coin factory discovered in China: UCI anthropologist and social sciences dean Bill Maurer weighs in on the significance of the find, courtesy of National Geographic. The completeness of the discovery is what's remarkable, says Maurer. Finding both coins and their molds is what allowed the researchers to radiocarbon date the mint, lending weight to their assertion that it's the oldest known in the world.

We are not your standard school. Like Peter, our beloved Anteater mascot, we're quirky and different. We're on a mission to create positive change in society, economies and human well-being by breaking down traditional barriers and pushing the limits in teaching, research and service. Doing so requires a different attitude, aim and set of actions.
