Over 60 children aged between 7 and 10 years old learned about the role of a central bank and the importance of responsible financial decisions at the National Bank of Moldova. The young visitors discovered the collection of commemorative gold and silver coins and identified the safety features of banknotes using special equipment, reports IPN.

Speaking at the event “A vacantion day at the NBM,” Central Bank Governor Anca Dragu said that financial education begins in childhood, with children’s first questions about money and the world around them. The NBM governor encouraged participants to be curious and to confidently explore the world of money.

“Through this initiative, we have transformed learning into a captivating experience, where play, dialogue, and discovery naturally complement each other. A child who understands the value of money can become an adult who makes responsible decisions”, declared Anca Dragu.

During the visit, the children explored the exhibition hall of the BNM and discovered how money has evolved over time.
