Max the Monkey was great at climbing trees and picking coconuts. One day, his neighbor asked, "Max, can you pick coconuts for me? I'll give you 3 banana coins!"
Max climbed up, picked 10 coconuts, and earned his banana coins. He realized something: his climbing skill was valuable! Other animals would pay him for it.
Soon Max was the neighborhood coconut picker. He traded his time and skills for money.

Go through a short lesson with the KidCash mascot, three or four cards with a question to tap and reveal on each set. Last comes a three-question checkpoint: answer two correctly to clear the planet and earn the Hustler badge. Lesson progress stays in this browser; when a kid signs in, planet badges and any Family-plan badge rewards save to their KidCash profile.
Land on Mining Asteroid to try the lesson cards and checkpoint. This planet’s mini game is arriving soon.
