Money Day June 25, 2011



Do you know who the people are on your money? This young student does!


The Currency exchange kept visitors busy while they tried to balance out different
currency from around the world.
Money Day was a great success!
Thank you Dr. Joyce Burnette for all your hard work getting this day ready and to the Wabash students who spent a summery Saturday afternoon helping visitors learn about money.

Thanks to all the visitors who came to see the currency from around the world, participate in an "Inflation Auction" and learn about money, currency exchange, interest and economics in general. And the Penny Photo op was a big hit! Join us next year for Money Day 2.

Many people commented on how much they learned about the history of money and the games about who was on each coin and dollar bill helped them realize they had never seen some of the US Currency bills. Thank you Tri-County Bank for allowing us to borrow one of those rarely seen bills!
