Children can understand money’s value even without cash

Cash is not necessary for children to understand the value of money. This is the outcome of a study by KTH Royal Institute of Technology that was commissioned by Finansinspektionen (FI). Parents therefore should not let the decreasing use of cash stand in the way of teaching children about money, a knowledge that children need to have for a good understanding of their personal finances as adults.

Small children are happy to talk about money, but preschool teachers are not experienced in talking to them about personal finances.
