Imagine you're trading toys with your friend. If you use coins, it feels heavy and slow, like carrying a bag full of rocks! Paper money is light and easy to carry, so people started using it instead. Over time, paper money became the favorite for trading because it was easier and faster.
Examples
- Carrying a bag of coins is like carrying a sack of rocks, heavy and tiring.
- Paper money is as light as a feather, making it easy for people to carry around.
- You can trade one paper bill for many coins, which makes transactions faster.
