Long ago, people didn’t use money. They traded things like apples for bread, this was called a barter system. But trading was hard because you had to find someone who wanted what you had and had what you needed. One day, people started using coins, which made trading much easier and faster!
Examples
- A farmer traded apples for bread with a baker.
- A child gave up toys to get candy from another child.
- Someone used coins to buy food at a market.
