Make Your Own Money

People create systems such as money to meet needs and to help communities function. By exploring the features of coins and banknotes, such as symbols, numbers, and images, students learn how currency is used in everyday life. They demonstrate their understanding by designing their own creative forms of money. Through drawing and colouring their own coins and notes, students reflect on value, identity, and the systems that enable a community to work together.
