Add the Following Code to Your Root Directory
This code is where the API calls are being made in addition to where things are being rendered on the screen. A key distinction to make is that in order to change the coins being returned in the API call, you need to change line 9. If you want to see the use being returned, you can look in the console at "value" being printed out.
