Money, Money, Money

As previously reported Emily loves money! She is always sorting, organizing, talking about, and looking at, her coins. Yesterday after school we spent over 2 hours organizing it by country. Thank heavens for the iPad and google and we were able to find where most coins came from. There were 8 coins I could not figure out so I went to the almighty power of Facebook and posted a picture of the coins. Several friends reposted it on their page and before I woke up this morning we had the answers to 7 of the 8 coins! There is still one I don't know but Emily has coins from 41 countries!

In school the teacher asked the kids what they wanted to be when they grow up. Emily replied "a money collector or maybe just work at the mint." 

This may not look organized to the naked eye, but the coins are in piles by country

 The picture from Facebook. The square ones are from Bangladesh 
 Emily loves making lists so it is no surprise that she was eager to make a list of her coins. Check it out, it is interesting where many of them came from
Jen gave Emily a globe for her birthday so she could see where her money is from! Great idea! We used it a lot yesterday!
