Gold bar

A gold bar is a long, skinny brick made of a special metal called gold. Gold is super valuable, like how your favorite toy might be super important to you. People use gold bars to trade with each other because they know they're worth a lot. Just like how you might trade one of your toys for another toy you really want, grown-ups trade gold bars for things they want or need. Gold bars look fancy and shiny, just like how your shiny bicycle helmet looks really cool. They can be different sizes and shapes, but they are all made of the same special metal. People need to be really careful with gold bars because they are so valuable and important.
