Money & Economics
Ruth MacAlister
Hi Everyone!
Today my dd asked me," If a penny is a penny and a dollar is a dollar,
why isn't Canadian money worth as much as ours?" I have to admit, I was
uncertain of the exact reasons, and definitely couldn't put what I do
know into simple enough terms for a ten-yr old. Does anyone know a good
children's book that might explain? I seem to recall some really good
links, recently on one of these lists, that dealt with money, numbers
and even economics. Does anyone have those still? Would you mind
sending them again? TIA.
