Money is like a game where we all agree on the rules. Sometimes, money isn’t even real, it’s just symbols, like coins or paper notes. But why do we believe they are valuable? Because everyone agrees that they can be used to buy things. It’s like having magic tickets to a party: as long as everyone thinks the ticket is special, it works!
Examples
- A dollar bill is just paper, but you believe it can buy a candy bar.
