A banknote is like a magic piece of paper that people trust to buy things. Imagine if you had to carry all your coins every time you went to the store, it would be a lot! A banknote lets you carry money easily, and everyone agrees it has value because the government says so.
Examples
- A child uses a $10 bill to buy candy from the store instead of counting out ten dollars in coins.
- You give your friend a banknote as a gift for their birthday.
- The government prints new banknotes with a picture of a famous person on them.
