About

Aligned to elementary social studies learning standards, Really BIG Money teaches children about world cultures and supports the development of financial literacy. 

This website is based on an exhibition that opened at the National Museum of American History in April 2022. Objects pictured here may differ from those currently on view at the museum. 

Really BIG Money was made possible by Michael Chou, the Howard F. Bowker Numismatic Projects Endowment Fund, and Bill and Dianne Calderazzo, with additional support from Jeff Garrett, Robert L. Harwell II, and John F. McMullan.
