Learn about the history of Bank Notes with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds.

When you think of money, the first image that comes into your head is probably a bank note. We all know what they look like and how you can use them. Bank notes are such a large part of our lives that it is hard to imagine how the world would work without them. That’s why it may surprise you to learn that the bank notes we know today are a relatively recent form of money.

This isn’t to say that people only recently started buying and selling with each other. People have always traded goods and services. Before bank notes, however, almost all money was made of precious metals in the form of coins. We still have coins today, and they work in much the same way they have for thousands of years.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

Simple intro to bank notes for kids

This is a perfect introduction on bank notes for kids. It provides a quick overivew on bank notes as well banks in general in simple terms that kids can understand.

Excellent Narrator, Good Information.

Added to my library because it was free and I am a fan of numismatics. The narrator was very good, the audio book moved at a good speed and it had good information on when people started putting their money in banks. Wouldn't pay for this audio book but it was free when I added it to my library.

not enough content

I learned almost nothing new. the content is at primary school level. very disappointing. furthermore, why do you use background music?
