Books Make Cent$: One Cent, Two Cents, Old Cent, New Cent

To celebrate Financial Literacy Month, the Southeastern Credit Union Foundation (SECUF) is excited to offer the new and improved Books Make Cent$ program. This initiative is an interactive way to introduce students to credit unions and basic financial concepts, while building relationships with schools and community partners. The Books Make Cent$ program provides book recommendations and associated lesson plans for preschool, elementary, and middle school levels.

This week’s featured book is One Cent, Two Cents, Old Cent, New Cent which helps 6 to 9-year-old students learn about the history of money, money around the world, bartering, and how money is made. One Cent, Two Cents, Old Cent, New Cent is a simple way to look at numismatics, the study of money and its history.

In addition to providing these financial-related books, we will also include lesson plans to pair with each book, making this an optimal student engagement opportunity.
