What Is Money?

Money is a special tool we use to get things we need and want! We use it to buy yummy snacks at the store or fun toys to play with. People earn money by working hard and doing a great job at their jobs. Money can be shiny, round coins like pennies and quarters, or it can be green paper bills!

It is very smart to save your money in a piggy bank or a jar! When you save a little bit of money at a time, you can buy something extra special later. Some money is silver and some is copper, and every piece of money has a different value. Money helps people all around the world trade and share what they have with others!
