Coins are like hard little rocks we can carry in our pockets, and paper money is like big pieces of paper we fold or roll. Coins don’t wear out as fast, but they’re heavier, and sometimes you have to use a coin to get change for something you buy.
Examples
- You give a coin to get one piece of candy at the store.
- Your friend gives you a $10 bill instead of ten $1 coins.
- Coins fit in your pocket but can be heavy if you have too many.
