Bank Visit

On Tuesday we went to WestPac Ferrymead, because we are learning about Financial Literacy.
Financial Literacy is learning how to make good choices with money.  We met Tracey, she is the Bank Manager, and she showed us the vault where they keep the money. Tracey and another lady had keys to the vault but they were both different keys and you needed both to open it, so both of them always needed to be there to open the vault. We got to hold $10,000 dollar in $100's and $20's. We got to weigh the coin. We had to tell the machine what type of coin we wanted to weigh and it told us how much we had. The $2 coin was the heaviest and the 10c is the lightest. One of the ATM machines was a coin change machine, so businesses could swap notes for coins. Shops would use this often.
