"A recent report from The Institute for Public Policy Research revealed that children in the United States who had received the proper financial education in school were around $60,000 richer by the time they reached the age of 40," says Y Factory CEO Ryan Kim. "Educating our children about money, its uses, and the proper way to spend and save it can lead to better financial security for those children in their later lives."

Highlights of the App:
* What is money?
* Deal or no deal? (Ancient bartering)

* Making money (How money is made, and protected from counterfeiting)
* Fantastic plastic (The story of credit cards)
* Playing the market (Learning about the stock market)
* Trading without money (Modern-day bartering)

Show Me The Money begins by explaining how people bartered for goods before the invention of money. A need for a valuing system led to the invention of currency, and how it was used at the beginning, in a manner similar to the way monetary value is still set today. Also included is a handy timeline that shows the history of money. Users can drag their finger along the timeline and tap various points in history to learn more about the evolution of currency.

The app continues to teach the user about how money is made - and protected - by using modern techniques of watermarking, special materials, and serial numbers, as well as other methods of protection, both visible, and invisible to the naked eye. Also included is an entertaining section on why credit cards were invented, and how they work. The app continues with valuable lessons on how the stock market works, finishing up with a section on modern-day cashless bartering systems.

In order to demonstrate the lessons they've learned by interacting with Show Me The Money, kids can take an fun, yet challenging quiz about money, allowing them to collect a number of ancient coins from various civilizations from around the world. For every question a child answers correctly, they receive a coin. If the child answers incorrectly, they will have the opportunity to answer the question later on. Once a child collects all the coins by answering all of the questions correctly, they can then view their coin collection.
