Two Dollars, Please

Ask for a two-dollar bill the next time you are in your local bank, and bring it in for your students to examine. This may be the first time they have ever seen one. Ask your students to do a little research about the two-dollar bill (or another denomination of their choice) and make notes which give information about the paper money. Each person or group should research the history of their bill and share it in their notes. They should also include a picture of both sides of the bill and information on when and why it was created.
