Reader Description

They jingle in our pockets and crinkle in our wallets, but coins and bills are being replaced by a new kind of money. It's stored on computers and plastic cards, but will it be better than the money we can see and feel?

After you have completed the Reader

Ask a family member if you can look at a five or ten dollar note. Together, look for the fine patterns, the watermark, the security thread, and the serial number. What other security devices could you add to a bank note?
