1.  A New Look for the Fifty

Isn't this a nifty fifty? Last week, the U.S. Department of the Treasury introduced the design for a new $50 bill. The department has changed the bill to include new colors and details. The design will help prevent criminals from printing counterfeit, or fake, money.

The new bill is the same size as the old one. But it won't include the oval around President Ulysses S. Grant's face. Touches of blue and red have been added to the background, and small yellow 50s will dot the back of the bill.

2.  A Trip To The Baa-Baa Shop

Last month, a 10-year-old sheep named Shrek ended up in a very hairy situation. Farmers in New Zealand finally caught the merino sheep. It had avoided getting a haircut for six years!  Normally, a sheep's wool coat is sheared every year. Shrek's coat was so long that it could provide enough wool to make more than 20 suits.

Last Wednesday, Shrek got a big shave. Thousands of people watched the event on television. That day, the wool went on sale. The money will help children with serious illnesses.
