How Did Ancient Coins Influence Modern Money?

Ancient coins are like the first money we ever used. People would carry them in their pockets and trade them with others, just like how you might trade toys with your friend. These coins helped people buy food, clothes, and even build big cities. Over time, they became smaller, lighter, and easier to use, which is why today's money looks so much like ancient coins.
