Why Do We Need ‘Money’ to Trade Goods?

Imagine you want to trade your toys with your friend, but they only have candy. You might need to find someone who has both toys and candy to make the trade work. That’s like barter, trading one thing for another.

But what if everyone needs different things? That’s where money comes in! Money is like a special toy that everyone agrees on, so you can trade your toys for money and then use the money to get candy from someone else.
