How is Money made in different parts of the world?
All around the world there are different types of money. There are different ways that countries make and use money. This text will be about how some countries make and use money.
Firstly Let's Talk about wonderful New Zealand. The people on New Zealand notes are $5= Sir Edmund Hillary, mountaineer $10= Kate Sheppard, suffragette $20=Queen Elizabeth II, The Queen
$50=Apirana Ngata, Maori politician $100=Ernest Rutherford, physicist.On 10 July 1967 New Zealand started using Dollars before 10 July 1967 New Zealand used Pounds. New Zealand’s money is also in Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau and the Pitcairn Islands. New Zealand's money used to be made out of polypropylene plastic But in May 1999 New zealand's money was and is printed out onto cotton paper. The first bank in New zealand was Union Bank of Australia. One of the top banks used in New Zealand is ASB and Kiwi Bank..
Secondly let's talk about the humongous famous America. In America they call money dollars or bills. The People on American Bills are: George Washington on the $1 bill, Thomas Jefferson on the $2 bill, Abraham Lincoln on the $5 bill, Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill, Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, Ulysses S. Grant on the $50 bill, and Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill. American money is 75% Cotton and 25% linen. Over two-thirds of all $100 bills are held outside the U.S. Dollar bills can be folded at least 8,000 times, which is 20x more than a normal sheet of paper. That's because dollar bills are made of a special 75% cotton and 25% linen blend.
Lastly Let's Talk about the freezing cold England! Queen Elizebth the II is on all of the Pound notes. The British notes are made out of polymer because it is cleaner, safer and stronger than paper. United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the British Antarctic Territory, and Tristan da Cunha. Around 980 A.D one pound could buy 15 heads of cattle.
In conclusion New Zealand, America and England’s money are all mainly made of the same stuff But the facts about their money are super interesting!
