Beverly Hillbillies comes to mind. Jethro Bodine?
Perhaps a course in economy?
It sounds like she's thinking of arbitrage. But I think she made a mistake somewhere down that train of thought, because she won't earn any money exchanging currency unless she's the one working at the bank.
She's not "thinking of arbitrage". I wouldn't bet she's thinking at all. Clearly she's just stupid.
If only it was that easy.
Maybe switch her to a regular high school instead of home schooling?
I wouldn't leap to the conclusion she's home-schooled. Economics and finance education in US school curriculum is basically nonexistent. It's done that way deliberately, because the political establishment doesn't want our young folks figuring out how screwed they are.
Honestly that's not always sound advice. I was home schooled and I'm almost done with my civil engineering degree, my younger sister went to public school and managed to graduate having failed algebra twice and never even taking geometry. "extra credit for a passing grade" despite literally never showing up for class
She's not entirely wrong; there's a whole industry where they just buy and sell currency for profit (essentially from predicting appreciation or depreciation). Of course, it's not nearly as simple as her idea, and you need a lot of money to make it work...

Let her try, she'll learn
If only that was how it worked...
