What Makes a Currency 'Strong'?

A currency is like a magic ticket that lets you buy things in another country. When a currency is 'strong,' it can buy more things abroad. It's kind of like having a bigger piggy bank than your friend, you can buy more candy! A strong currency happens when people believe in the future value of that money, and when there are lots of buyers who want to use it.
