Money Myths: Real or Rumour?

Everyone’s heard the old money lore — your cash is gold in a vault with your name on it, a credit card is basically free money, sell everything the moment the market dips, a coin is worth its metal — and a surprising number of them are simply wrong. Meanwhile some of the wildest-sounding claims (most money is just numbers in computers; money can double all by itself) turn out to be completely true. A confident “MoneyBot” is about to hand you a pile of money facts. You’re the fact-checker: for each one, decide — is it a real, checkable FACT, or a money myth? The truth panel will show exactly where each claim and how money really works part ways. (This is about understanding money, not advice for your own — real money decisions belong with a trusted adult.)
