| Monetary Systems |
| Instead of trading what you have for what you want, you can make it easy to buy and sell by creating a system where you exchange goods for tokens of different fixed values. |

While attempting to rescue Dr. Marbles, the kids and Digit crash land on cybersite Nowhere, along with Hacker, Buzz and Delete. As a result of the crash, Hacker is shrunk, and Buzz and Delete become smart. In a race to rebuild their cybercraft and save Marbles, Digit and the kids learn to trade and barter and eventually create a monetary system. But who will finish first?!!

All that Glitters is not Gold
Bianca finds a gold coin--and thinks that she's rich! When she takes her coin to an expert to find out how rich, she learns that the coin is only worth a dollar. She also learns that in past currency was made of something precious or represented a particular amount of silver or gold. Today, though, money is symbolic, worth an agreed-upon exchange value.
Math message: Currency is a system where you exchange goods for tokens of different fixed values. Once, the tokens were made from precious items, but now their value is symbolic.
