Week 2 Microsociety

This week for Microsociety we were looking at currency and money. In class we talked about how money affects our lives because if you need to buy something from a shop you will have to pay for it otherwise it won't be fair on the shopkeeper as they won't have any money left. This would happen because they have to pay for the items in their shop. We had to design our own currency which then we would name. To start each table came up with a name to call our currency; then the whole class voted and our currency was named: 'Solar Stars'. Once that was decided we then moved on to design what the money would look like. As before we chose which one was the best and voted on it because we are a democracy. The person whose money design had been chosen then had to outline it in black and our currency had been made and named!

It is important to keep your money from being copied because people could go around buying things using fake money. This would be bad because lots of people will have fake money in their pockets and that means you won't be able to use it anymore. To prevent your money from being copied you can add special details like holograms or signatures.
