What is devalued?

What is devalued? It’s when something becomes worth less, like your favorite toy after you lose a piece.

Imagine you have a treasure chest that holds shiny gold coins. Everyone knows how valuable those coins are because they can buy candy, toys, and even ice cream. But one day, the king decides to make more coins, a lot more. Soon, there are so many coins around that each one isn’t as special anymore. That’s what devalued means: when something loses its value because there's too much of it.

Think of it like a pizza party. If you have 10 pizzas for 2 kids, every slice is super special, they might even be fighting over the last piece! But if you have 100 pizzas for 2 kids, each slice isn’t so exciting anymore. The value of each pizza goes down because there are too many.

That’s how devalued works in real life, when a lot more of something is made or given out, it becomes worth less. What is devalued? It’s when something becomes worth less, like your favorite toy after you lose a piece.
