PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Money Matters is a hands-on educational program about bank notes prepared by the Bank of Canada for students ages 10 to 14 who visit the Currency Museum. Students learn about where the money in their wallets comes from, who is responsible for making it, and how they can be sure that it is the real thing that they are handling. They also find out why some of Canada’s bank notes have a new look.

Students are divided into four groups to investigate, with the aid of a Museum interpreter, different aspects of Canadian bank notes.
