Question

For a traveler, why would paper currency be preferable to coins?


because of portability


because of limited supply


because of acceptability


because of uniformity

Answer 1

For a traveler, paper currency is generally preferable to coins primarily **because of portability**. Paper currency is typically easier to carry in larger denominations and takes up less space and weight than an equivalent amount of coins. Coins can become bulky and heavy, making them less convenient for travelers who need to manage their belongings efficiently while on the move.

While the other factors you've mentioned (limited supply, acceptability, and uniformity) can also be relevant in certain contexts, portability is the most significant reason in the context of traveling.
