About this Event

This event does not require registration.

Enjoy a presentation about how the indomitable American spirit not only survived 250 years of history, but helped shape it; as told through our money!

Ben Franklin made a coin? Coins helped win WW2? What the heck is a paper coin and how did it win the civil war? Wait, they made a $500 bill? Would an American give free silver back to the government? Find answers to all these questions and more with Dann from JP Coins & Collectibles in Sycamore.

This event is part of the America 250 initiative; celebrating our nation throughout the year. All ages are welcome and no registration is required.

For more information, please contact Emily K at [email protected] or (815) 756-9568 ext. 6106.
