Résumé anglais It is at the level of the family that the symbolic construction of the role of money in society is most directly perceived : which differentiates youth money from adult money. Other actors : the State, the bank, the media help confirm and complete this dual image. The deposit in a post office or a bank account is a special moment during which the symbolism of the money of young people takes on this dual register. On the one hand, a computerised currency with stable sources which is self-regenerating and on the other the currency of fundamental needs. The board and lodging provided by parents, the basic minimum salary, benefits, courses, scholarships ...are all part of the juvenilisation of those excluded from the exercice of complete adulthood Of those who are condemned to "pocket money", which does not lead to the adult symbolism of money.
