Why is it beneficial?

• Financial literacy is important! Understanding goods/services, wants/needs, and saving/spending is all included in early elementary standards. It is also an important part of real life.
• Rewarding positive behaviors, positive character, and completion of tasks can encourage a positive classroom or home environment with desired behaviors.
• You can save YOURSELF money on rewards and prizes. Although some of the items in the coupon/rewards do cost small amounts of money, you can choose items and coupons that do not cost anything for your economy system.
