This Philadelphia walking tour specifically examines money and inflation through the city’s history. Hear how the Founding Fathers shaped the nation’s monetary system while visiting the exteriors of Independence Hall, the 1st/2nd Banks of the United States, Carepenters Hall, and the US Mint. A Philadelphian guide connects early currency to today’s financial conditions.
