Money is like a superpower. Imagine you have a piggy bank full of coins, and your friend has an empty one. If you can take some of their coins and give them yours, it makes you richer and them poorer. That's what countries do when they control other people's money, they make themselves stronger and others weaker.
Examples
- If one country makes its coins worth less, another country's coins become more valuable automatically.
- Countries can take control over each other’s money like a game, keeping their own coins strong while making others weak.
