What’s on the Knowing the Coins poster
A 4-row table: Coin · Worth · How to spot it.
Recognise the coin first. Counting money is impossible until you can name them.
- Penny — 1c — the only copper-coloured one
- Nickel — 5c — thick, smooth edge, bigger than a dime
- Dime — 10c — the smallest coin of all, ridged edge
- Quarter — 25c — the biggest of the four, ridged edge
The dime is worth more than the nickel but is smaller. Size does not tell you value.

- Who is the Knowing the Coins poster for?

- When should you use the Knowing the Coins poster?
- Empty a purse onto the table and sort into piles by coin, not by value. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Knowing the Coins belongs on the wall where that math work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

- What size does the Knowing the Coins poster print at?
