Visitors to the Journey Museum learned that money in not absolutely necessary and we can trade our own things for the other things we need, but money makes getting those things a whole lot easier.

Kristi Thielen says, "It's our Family Fun Day for February. We thought it was a nice change of pace to have kids learn about the U.S. Mint, and about how currency is created. And then we were visited by a customer service representative from Security First Bank."

Family Fun Day is a monthly educational program for kids at the Journey Museum.
