Description
This is a colorful introduction for students to read about the history and potential future of money. The text is presented in curious, topical snippets and the illustrations are expressive and lively. While there is a bit of tongue-in-cheek about it, the topics are sure to bring up some great conversations! A brief glossary in the back includes terms such as asset, counterfeiting, cryptocurrency, mint, recession and more. As our economy changes, it is a way to bring up how things used to be in a fun and enjoyable way. ~Sara
