Imagine coins like little superheroes that don’t get tired no matter how many times they’re used. When we use coins, they go from one person to another, like a game of tag! But sometimes people keep them for later or even give them as gifts. Coins can be special because they don’t break easily, and they stay the same forever, so they're not thrown away like paper money.
Examples
- A penny from the 1980s still works in a vending machine.
- Your mom keeps the quarters she got from your dad on their wedding day.
- You find a shiny nickel in your backpack and use it to buy a snack.
