Description
Ever wonder why a piece of paper can buy you a pizza, but you can't trade a pencil for a video game? In this module, we'll uncover the secrets of money! We'll start by exploring how people traded before money existed (imagine swapping 3 chickens for a pair of shoes!) and why that was so tricky. Then, we'll travel through history to see how money evolved from shells and salt to the coins and paper bills we use today.
We'll learn what gives money its value, why you can't just print your own, and how money works when you travel to other countries. By the end, you'll understand exactly why money isn't just paper—it's a system built on trust!
