The Bundesbank’s range of educational services are designed to impart basic knowledge in the areas of money, currency and central banking as part of its general economic education activities. 

The Bank’s flagship educational resource is Geld und Geldpolitik (Money and monetary policy), a book aimed at pupils in upper secondary education.

The book teaches its readers about cash, book money, banking and financial supervision, European monetary policy and its institutions, and the international financial and monetary system.
