Money changed from barter to coins and paper because people wanted a simpler way to trade. At first, people traded things they needed, like apples for bread or tools. But that was hard! Then, someone used shells as money. After that, people started using coins made of metal, and later, paper money came along. Now we use plastic cards too!
Examples
- A farmer trades apples for bread instead of using coins.
- Someone uses a shell to buy a fish from another person.
- A kid exchanges candy for money at a store.
