You would do well to teach the kids another method of writing numbers in case they wish to be a drug dealer or bookie or something where there's too much to remember and written notes are evidence. You can't hide everything with Bitcoin.

Very simple to learn; the orientation of the ascender and descender tells you what place the number is in. I like it I'll add it to my morse code lessons.
