The South African Reserve Bank is giving learners a new opportunity to build money management and financial literacy skills through its school outreach programme at the newly opened SARB Museum in Pretoria.
The programme uses interactive activities to teach young people about economics and the country's financial system.
Visitors can also explore South Africa's economic history through exhibits, historical artefacts and artworks, making economics more accessible to the public.
The museum forms part of the Reserve Bank's efforts to make economic education more accessible to all South Africans.

A newly renovated library was unveiled last week at Luyolo Primary School in Emdeni, Soweto, to help improve literacy and give learners better access to books.
The upgraded facility was introduced through a community-led initiative to strengthen reading and learning at the school.
Education officials and literacy advocates encouraged pupils to make full use of the library to develop their reading skills and improve academic performance.

Residents of Langa in the Western Cape are being encouraged to drop off unwanted electronic devices at collection points to promote recycling and reduce environmental harm.
This forms part of wider efforts across South Africa to reduce electronic waste by collecting, recycling and refurbishing old devices.
Organisations, including the E-Waste Association of South Africa, are working with local partners to recover valuable materials such as metals and plastics, while giving usable electronics a second life.
Deputy Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Bernice Swarts says the project also teaches learners and communities how to recycle old electronics responsibly and protect the environment:
