What Makes a Currency Strong or Weak?

Imagine you have a piggy bank full of coins. If your coins are more valuable than your friend's, they might trade with you to get them. That’s like what happens when one currency is stronger than another. A strong currency means you can buy more things from other countries. It's kind of like having bigger coins in the game of trading.
