Delving into the complex world of bank note production

(for ages 10-14, from 12 to 90 students)

This program teaches students about the money in their wallets and how the Bank of Canada produces and issues bank notes. Working in teams, students learn about the history and design of bank notes—how the images are decided upon, how the notes themselves are printed, how to tell a fake from the real thing.
