"Pass the Buck" Project

In Education World's "Pass the Buck" Internet/email project, students track the journey of one-dollar bills as they are passed from person to person, community to community, and state to state. Fifty classrooms will act as "Buck Passers"; each Buck Passer classroom will place into circulation a specially marked one-dollar bill. In the months that follow, people who receive one of the Pass the Buck dollar bills will report its location to Education World -- and we will share that information with students everywhere by updating our "Track the Bucks" pages.
