A currency is like the money you use to buy things. If it's stable, it keeps its value over time, which means your dollar can still buy a lot of candy tomorrow. But if it's unstable, it might be worth half as much in just one day, and suddenly that candy will cost twice as much!
Why It Changes
Currencies change because of things like how many people are using them, how much the country is spending, or even how much money a government prints. If too much money is printed all at once, it might lose value quickly.
Examples
- A country prints so much money that a loaf of bread costs 100 times more than before.
