Kids & Money: Making Money Child’s Play in the Digital Age

kids & money: making money child's play in the digital world

Polymer notes and metal coins. This was our money. Presuming your childhood was spent before the advent of internet banking, you would have learnt about money this way. As for myself, I was taught about money when my Dad taught me how to play Monopoly at the age of six. He himself had been familiarised with money from accompanying his parents’ weekly trip to a bank teller, as all money had to be withdrawn before the Australian rollout of ATMs in the early 1980s. Presumably, my grandparents were introduced to money similarly, as were their parents and so on.
