# Value Object

An object defined only by its values; two with equal values are equal.

## What is **Value Object**?

A **value object** is defined only by its values, not by an identity. Two `Money(10, "USD")` objects are equal because their values match. Value objects are usually immutable.

```csharp
public record Money(decimal Amount, string Currency);

Console.WriteLine(new Money(10, "USD") == new Money(10, "USD")); // True
```
