Imagine you have a toy car that only 10 kids in the whole world own. That toy is more valuable than a regular toy car that many kids have. Coins work like that too! If very few people have a certain coin, it can be worth much more than a paper bill, even if they both show the same face of a king or queen. Rarity makes coins special and valuable.
Examples
- A coin that only 10 kids have is worth more than a regular toy car.
- You might find a coin under your couch and sell it for $100 because it's special.
- Your grandma’s old coin could be worth more than the new bills you use every day.
