Long ago, people used coins to buy things. Coins started with ancient civilizations like the Greeks and Romans who made metal discs to trade goods. Today's money is like a modern version of these ancient coins. Imagine if you had to count shiny little pieces to pay for your lunch, that’s how it used to be!
Examples
- A child uses coins to buy candy at the store, just like ancient Greeks did.
- A Roman soldier gets paid with shiny silver coins for his work.
- You use a credit card instead of coins, but it’s still based on the same idea.
