American kids count money

They made from a lemonades sell

We see motley almost every day Parents give us pocket money．We pay for our favorite CDs with money．We can hardly imagine a world without money．

Money helps people trade（交易）．If you want a kilo of chicken you don’t have to give the seller a box of apples．You can use money．Traders can give each other change to make the trade fair because of money．

With money the world becomes a big moving system．People work to get money．Then they use their money to buy things they want．Money travels from person to person and from place to place．

Money is usually coins and banknotes．Each country has its own currency（货币）．Some have their leaders’ faces on the coins and banknotes；others have plants or animals．Still others have beautiful or historical places on the fronts or backs of currency．So you see, money also says something about the culture of a country．
