1. Find an interesting article, video, website, or online news, from reputable sources that relates to the topic of money and banks. You might want to look for topics such as what is money made of, the history of money or banks, other countries' money, BitCoin, FDIC, the Federal Reserve System, other countries' central banks, the members of the Board of Governors of the FED, their education and careers before joining the FED and so on. Your discussion content should address the economic importance/significance/ impact of the topic and summarize your research findings. Provide the title, date, source, and website link below the body of your posting.

2. Imagine you come back to your economics class in the year 2050. How will the textbook describe money and banking? Based on trends you see today, make a prediction for the future of money. Explain why you think this trend will occur and how it will affect the U.S. economy. (You can use your imagination for this part of the discussion).
