I'm going to teach you today about money.

But we need money to live and buy things, so it is important.

That's why I'm going to teach you about it.

I'm gonna teach you some vocabulary that maybe you have never heard before.

All of these words mean money, Coin or coins.

So you have coin, cash, bucks and dollars.

Now, in Canada, we do not have $1 or $2 bills, paper money anymore.

What we have in Canada are coins of $1.2 dollar values.

So the very first coin that we got was a loonie.

It's gold and it has a picture of a loon.

Then in many years later, we got rid of our $2 bills and they developed another coin.

Allouni has a loon on one side and the queen on the other side.

But it to me has on one side of the coin.

Who decided that a loony would be a loon?

So that, to me, is worth $2 and it has a polar bear.

Now, another word for these coins is change.

So sometimes you people say, Do you have change for a dollar?

Which means they need coins or they need smaller amounts of money.

So these coins can also be called change.

So we have 25 cents, 10 cents, five cents and one cent.

But we actually have different names, not slang every day.

Watch out So $1 has 100 beautiful cents or 100 pennies.

A quarter of 100 is 25 so we call 25 cents a quarter.

Now, the idea of this is a dime is very, very thin and small.

So if a car can stop on a dime, it means it can stop really quickly in a short time.

The next one we have is five cents or a nickel.

Now, a long time ago are five cent coins were actually made with nickel Nicholas of metal.

So it's probably made from a different metal, not nickel.

And the last one, the lonely pani Oh, the one cent.

Recently in Canada, we have stopped making the penny.

Um, you might hear the expression a penny for your thoughts.

That means basically someone wants to know what you're thinking.

So if your baby daydreaming this is a penny for your thoughts.

That means Tell me what you're thinking and I will give you a penny.

You don't give me a penny, and I don't tell you what I'm thinking.
