In this episode of Teaching Kids About Money with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how to explain compound interest to children using a simple penny doubled every day for 30 days. They discuss the magic of exponential growth, practical ways to demonstrate it with a jar of pennies, and how this lesson can shape a child's understanding of saving early. Lucas shares the famous penny-doubling challenge and breaks down the surprising final number: over five million dollars. Luna offers tips for making it hands-on with a printable chart and real coins.
