Long ago, people traded things like grain or animals for other goods. But it was hard to know the value of what you were trading. Then, one day, someone had an idea: what if they made small pieces of metal that everyone could use as money? These small pieces became the first coins.
Examples
- It's like having a magic sticker that tells everyone how much your toy is worth.
- You could carry all your money in your pocket, not on your back.
