Visual Summary
Congratulations, you have just
been hired by the federal
government to completely redesign
our money. Before getting started
on your design, think about how we
use money. Working with a partner,
create a design for the new bills
and coins. Share your finished
product with the class and explain
why your money will serve the
same purpose(s) as our existing
money. Read Chapter 14 to learn
more about our monetary system
and how the government works to
promote economic stability
and growth.
Governments strive for a
balance between the costs
and benefits of their
economic policies to promote
economic stability and
growth.
