Money is made up of a selection of metal coins and paper notes. We either spend money or save it up.
If you use a note or coins to pay for things that cost less than the money's value, you get money back as change.
For example, if you were to buy a cake that costs ÂŁ6 with a ÂŁ10 note, you would get ÂŁ4 back in change. Change can be given in a variety of coins.
