Money, Money, Money: The Meaning of the Art and Symbols on United States Paper Currency

by Nancy Winslow Parker

United States paper money has been called by a lot of different names over the years, and that's only a small part of its fascinating history. Do you know which three bills are the only ones with pictures of men who have not been president? Or what practically foolproof methods have been invented to thwart counterfeiters? Or how many $100,000 bills are actually in circulation? Answers to all these questions, along with funny and informative facts about the many people and objects whose pictures appear on our paper money, can be found in this entertaining and educational look at what is really in our wallets!

Exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to teach my kids who and what was on our money and why. This book is very educational about American money.

Somewhat interesting but not as much about money as it is about the presidents and other people on the bills.
