Synopsis

Who decides the value of things?

8 November

Daniela Viela (Education Service of the Money Museum in Lisbon)

Me! You! Us! Them! Prices are decided by all and with the contribution of all. In truth, they are subject to a very simple thing, which is amongst the first and most important lessons an economist learns: the law of supply and demand.

 

What is needed to make money?

15 November

Ingredients: metal, paper or even plastic. Machinery, ink and high security “stamps”. Bring all the creativity you can from the pantry! Mix everything with maximum secrecy. Pour into a pan lined with confidence and distribute in equal parts.

 

What is Cryptocurrency?

22 November
First we need to know what crypto means. A word that comes from ancient Greek to say that something is occult, hidden. And currency? In coin form[MCR3] , metallic discs with motifs and numbers that can be seen everywhere. So what? Does this mean that there are hidden coins? Well, there are, and you will find out that you need much more than a treasure map to find them.
