Review
This well illustrated book takes the reader from the when there was no money at all to present day currency - the reader learns about the barter system, to how the Romans first kept track of things they owned, to the concept of the IOU to the development of coins and the concept of buying things and even inflation! I found this book to be quite an interesting read that kids of all ages will enjoy!
Overall Book Score: good
