"I'm back" Professor Adelia greeted the students as she headed through the door. " Let's get started. In the Wizarding World, we use a coin-only system. Galleons are the largest of the coins with the most value. It's made out of gold and has a serial number imprinted along the rim. Knuts are the lowest unit. They're made of bronze, and 29 knuts are worth one Sickle. Sickle is the next level up in the coins. Made of silver, it takes 17 of them to equal 1 galleon. Galleons are made of gold and are the highest unit of currency. There are a total of 493 knuts to 1 galleon." She knew most of the students in the room probably knew this.

"In most muggle currency systems, there are coins and paper bills. The bills carry a larger value than the coins. And each bill carries a serial number on it. There is such a wide variety of muggle money systems. Most countries have their own variation." Trina reached into the envelope with the lesson and pulled out an Australian bill. "This is Australian money, you'll notice that it's coloured yellow. All of Australia's notes are different sizes and colours making it easier to see what is what. If you go to...I don't know, China, the 50 dollar bill there will look so much different to what this looks like."

"Now I want you to pick a country and research the currency used in that country. I would like for homework to have a short paper explaining the currency system and how it compares to the currency system of the Wizarding World. You may have the rest of the class to work on this. I have a number of books to use for research on this shelf here."
Homework: RP the lesson and do the essay. Just a paragraph or two. Pictures would be helpful as well.Muggle Studies,3,5

[justify]Flavio arrived to his Muggle Studies class that day, now unsurprised to see the same substitute fill in for his regular professor a second time. He smiled politely at them, and got out his note book, though did not write notes immediately as the professor explained wizarding currency. Flavio knew enough about wizard money to not need to write anything down, though he did reach for his pen eventually when the professor began to talk about Muggle currency. He wrote about the relevance of paper money and it's value compared to coin currency. The theory of having sheets of paper or parchment as money was unusual to Flavio, much like most things in the wizarding world. It seemed impractical too, since paper could be easily damaged in comparison to coins. But no matter what he thought about paper currency, he continued to write down notes, eager to learn more.

Flavio finally looked up from his notebook when the professor showed an example of paper currency from Australia. He squinted as he attempted to notice smaller details of the note, but it was soon put away and homework was given out. Flavio quickly wrote down the homework assignment before closing his book, putting his self-inking quill away and leaving the room. He wondered what else he would learn about Muggles that semester, and in the rest of his time at school.

It was almost the end of the first semester already and Evelyn couldn't wait to the trip they would have in a shopping mall but that was when she would get lessons from Professor Phillips, where the blonde couldn't wait for since she had met the man at the electives fair. When Evelyn entered the room she noticed the same Professor Adelia from last week. Perhaps Professor Stark was ill, she hoped the woman would be okay. She followed this lesson with Flavio and he was someone she liked so she decided to sit down next to him. The blonde took out her parchment, inkt and feather and was ready to take notes from the lecture of today. When Professor Adelia started about galleons Evelyn smiled. She spent enough on clothes and stuff she liked and was wondering what the muggles had. And not long after that she heard about paper bills, that was very different and way larger the blonde thought.

When the lecture was over and they got a assignment Evelyn directly knew which country she wanted to search for. Her birthcountry Denmark ofcourse. So she decided to search for that and took a book from Professor Adelia to begin. The blonde got a long way with her assignment and when the lesson was finished she had to do the last changes to it, but decided to finish it in the common room. Evelyn took her stuff and left the room with Flavio.
