<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 2346793, member: 76111&quot;]I did this to my each of childrens&#039; 3rd grade classes some years back to teach them about why money was created and how it&#039;s changed over the years.&nbsp; We started with an Ionian fraction and ended up with a Sesterius of Trajan.&nbsp; I gave each one of them a LRB to take home.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure I created at least one new coin collector in each class.&nbsp; My kids weren&#039;t even embarrassed to have me in class, which is saying something.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also brought in a 1924 US $20 gold piece to pass around and asked them who would rather have that or a $20 paper bill.&nbsp; Every single kid without exception said the $20 gold piece.&nbsp; They couldn&#039;t believe that our money used to made of be gold and silver.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie65" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
