Sometimes money loses all its value because people stop trusting it. Imagine if your favorite candy bar suddenly cost ten times more, that’s like what happens when a currency collapses. It starts with people not wanting to spend their money anymore, and then everyone runs away from it at once, making the value drop even faster.
Examples
- A child’s allowance becomes worth less every week because prices go up too fast.
- Your family buys groceries with $100 bills that used to buy a whole month of food.
- Everyone in your town suddenly starts using another country's money for daily transactions.
