Remember: Different places use different money. An exchange booth swaps one kind for another, and the swap rule is on the sign.
Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Mia and the bunMia lived in Lumo, where people paid with gold star coins, and she kept six star coins in a jar. In Pell, a hilly land, shops count in tiles, and star coins do not work there. A bun in Pell cost two tiles. At an exchange booth, a sign said, "Two star coins swap for one tile." Mia needed two tiles, so she handed over four star coins and got two tiles back. She paid the baker two tiles and ate the warm bun. Her jar still had two star coins. In Vee, a land beside the sea, shops take paper notes called moons. No kind of money is better than another, because each one works where people use it. All of this money is pretend.
