Who are the people on our coins and bills? When I was teaching our money unit, a student asked me about the people on the coins. I have to admit I didn't know much. I had to look up to see who was on the dime! I decided to create a poster highlighting the people on our coins and dollar bills. There are 2 posters. Each poster displays a picture of each coin or bill (front and back) plus some information about the people on each one. When I showed it to my 3rd graders, they were really interested in it! So I thought your students would like it too. I'm sharing it here today with you. You can hang in your classroom or on a bulletin board. Kids will love the facts! It's a great way to learn about our Presidents and the important people who are on the United States coins and bills. Just click any picture below to download it. You can download it at my TPT store.
