A coin works well in an economy when people believe it is valuable and will keep its worth over time. Imagine if your favorite toy could be traded for candy, that's like how coins work! If everyone agrees on the value of a coin, it becomes useful for buying things.
Examples
- If a coin is as big as a pizza, it’s hard to carry around
- A broken coin might not be accepted in trade anymore
- Everyone agrees that chocolate bars are worth five coins
