United States Currency Cards

Montessori education emphasizes practical life activities, and learning about money is included in that. Children learn to recognize different denominations of money, count, and make change—skills they can directly apply in real-life situations such as classroom stores or pretend restaurants.

This set of cards focuses on helping children recognize United States coins and bills. It includes five U.S. coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and Presidential one-dollar coin) and seven U.S. bills (one, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred dollars). 

To use three-part cards, match the labels to the corresponding pictures. Verify the matches using the control cards with the labels.

Includes:

  • 12 cards with labels
  • 12 cards without labels
  • 12 labels
  • 1 control chart for the coins
  • 1 control chart for the bills

The control charts have the front and back of each coin and bill. As required by law, all bills bear the word "specimen".

Cards with labels are approx. 3½" x 3¼", cards without labels are approx. 1" shorter, labels are approx. 1".
