hello I'm gonna teach you today about
money do you like money most people do I
hate money money ruins people's lives
destroys families but we need money to
live by things so it is important that's
why I'm going to teach you about it I
can teach you some vocabulary that maybe
you have never heard before
coin cash bucks and dollars all of these
words mean money coin or coins refer to
huh on paper money ones like these 25
cents 10 cents 5 cents 1 cent cash is
usually paper money box is actually
slang for dollars so you have coin cash
bucks and dollars now in Canada we do
not have $1 or $2 bills paper money
anymore there's another one bills so we
say one dollar bill two dollar bills
what we have in Canada are coins of $1
and $2 values so the very first coin
that we got was a loony a loony I wish I
had a loony is
eight sided it's gold and it has a
picture of a loon it's one dollar then
in many years later we got rid of our $2
bills and they developed another coin
that's a toonie now a loonie has a loon
on one side and the Queen on the other
side can you guess what it tunis has on
one side of the coin what do you think
loony toony it's a polar bear who did
this who decided that a loony would be a
loon and then we're crazy in Canada so a
toonie is worth $2 and it has a polar
bear this is a picture of a polar bear a
good drawing Ronny thank you so mu knee
to knee $1 $2 now another word for these
coins is change so sometimes you people
will 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 this is in now so we have 25
cents 10 cents five cents and one cent
but we actually have different names not
slang everyday name for these coins 25
cents we call a quarter do you know why
we call it a quarter I'm going to do
math watch out
so one dollar has 100 beautiful cents or
100 pennies a quarter of 100 carve out
25 ding ding ding a quarter of a hundred
is 25 so we call 25 cents a quarter good
that makes sense
next one we have 10 cents I don't know
where they got these from 10 cents is a
dime we have an expression an idiom
something could stop on a dime 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 I don't understand that
either the next one we have is 5 cents
or a nickel now a long time ago our 5
cent coins were actually made with
nickel nickel is of metal but now nickel
is too expensive so it's probably made
from a different metal not nickel I
don't know and the last one the lonely
penny oh the one cent recently in Canada
we have stopped making the penny the
penny is no longer
we have no more pennies if you have a
penny give it to me give me two million
pennies I would like you forever so a
penny is one cent
you might hear the expression a penny
for your thoughts that means basically
someone wants to know what you are
thinking so if you're maybe daydreaming
this is a penny for your thoughts that
means tell me what you're thinking and I
will give you a penny
no how about I don't give you a penny
you don't give me if any and I don't
tell you what I'm thinking hmm
how about a toonie for my thoughts there
mm-hmm I want to know your thoughts go
to in vidcom leave me a comment hmm go
to youtube and subscribe to my channel
there will be lots of pennies dimes and
nickels for every one of you that do
this till then goodbye
