Paper money is easier to carry and count. Imagine you're at the store, and you have a bunch of coins in your pocket, they clink together, and it's hard to know how much you have. Paper money feels lighter, like holding one piece instead of 10 small ones. In some countries, coins are used more for small change, but paper money is preferred when people need to pay a bigger amount.
Examples
- Paper money is lighter, like holding one piece instead of many small coins that clink together.
