Imagine you’re playing with your toys. If you want to trade them, you can use small coins or big paper bills. Some countries prefer one over the other because of how they started and what they had available. Coins are like little rocks, strong and lasting. Notes are like pieces of paper, easy to make but might tear.
Examples
- Your friend gives you a coin for candy at school.
- You see people carrying paper bills in the movies.
- Coins are small and easy to carry in your pocket.
