Imagine you’re trading toys with your friends. At first, you just swap one toy for another, no money needed. But if you want to buy a special toy from someone far away, you might need something like coins or paper so everyone can understand the trade. That’s why we use different kinds of money in different places.
Examples
- You can buy a candy bar with coins in Japan, but you might use paper bills when buying lunch at school.
- In some countries, you pay for your bus ride using a card that looks like a phone.
- You can even send money to your family across the world through an app on your phone.
