Money & Trade

MONEY is what we use to buy things. In Indonesia, we use Rupiah (Rp).

Long ago, people BARTERED — traded one thing for another. A fish for some rice.

Money is easier. You sell your work for money, then buy what you need.

SAVING means keeping money for later. Banks keep money safe for you.

TRADE between countries: Indonesia sells palm oil, buys airplanes. Countries need each other!
