What Are Coins Made Of?
Imagine you have a piggy bank. Inside it, there might be coins that are shiny and yellow, like the sun. Those are gold coins. Or they might be shiny and white, like moonlight, those are silver coins.
Gold and silver are real things you can touch. They're not made of magic, just like how your favorite toy is made of plastic or wood.
Why Use Gold or Silver?
Sometimes, people use these special coins to trade with others, because gold and silver are very valuable. It's like having a lot of big stickers that everyone wants!
So, when you see a coin that glows like the sun or shines like the moon, it’s just made of gold or silver, two types of real metal that people have used for money for a very long time!
