    What Is Money?

    Money is a form of currency that people use to exchange for goods and services. It comes in the form of coins and paper bills, and it represents value. With money, we can buy things we need and want, like food, clothes, toys, and more. Money makes it easier to trade because everyone agrees on its value.

    The currency of the United States is the United States Dollar, often symbolized as "$" or referred to as "USD." It comes in both coins and paper bills, with various denominations (different currency amounts) such as $1, $5, $10, $20, and so on.

    What Is Counting Money?

    Counting money refers to adding up the different coins and bills to find out the total amount of money you have. It involves understanding the value of each coin and bill, like pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars, and counting them all together to know the total amount you own. It's like solving a puzzle with money to know how much you can spend or save!

    Here are the different US dollar coin denominations:

    The United States has both a coin and a paper note for 1 dollar. The coin is commonly referred to as a "dollar coin," while the paper note is known as a "one-dollar bill.")
