Why Do We Use ‘Coins’ in Modern Currency?

Coins are like tiny, portable money that we can carry everywhere. Long ago, people used real things like shells or stones to trade, but coins were easier to use and last longer. Even today, we still use them because they're small, light, and easy to count. Imagine if you had to count a thousand paper bills every time you went shopping, that would be tiring!
