How Did the First Coins Change Trade?

Coins made trading faster and easier. Imagine you have a basket of apples, but you want bread. You need to find someone who has bread and also wants apples, that’s like a big game of matching! Coins are like magical tickets: you can give one person your ticket for apples, and use it with another person for bread. No more trading apples for bread, just trade apples for coins, then coins for bread!
