This month, we’re talking about currencies: dollars, euros, yen, pesos, pounds and the currency of generosity. 

Why Introduce Currencies (and Exchange) Early 

1. Value changes by place. Seeing prices in more than one currency builds a flexible number sense and a feel for exchange.
2. Clear words, confident choices. Names and symbols (€, ¥, £, $, $ MXN) reduce confusion in books, games, travel, and online shopping.
3. Real-world awareness. Global money sparks curiosity—and opens a natural conversation about helping families near and far.
