Learning Resources Money Jar - Play Money for Kids, Fake Bills and Coins, Pretend Play Props, Homeschool and Classroom Math and Counting Supplies, Ages 3+

This is a great way to teach your young ones. How to count and use money?

A great learning experience.

Money jar came with 6 $100 bills, 5 $50 bills, 15 $20s, 15 $10s, 20 $5s, and 20 $1s. I did not count the coins. I felt like the ink was very faded on the back of the bills, it’s not unusable but did make it kind of hard to see the denominations at a glance. I am very nearsighted so that may be why I noticed it. Bills are life size and not too thick but thicker than other flimsy play money you get at the dollar store.

I absolutely love how easy it is to take this with me on our homeschooling journey it really makes it easier for kids to actually see the money versus just learning from a book. We use this to play store, while learning and I keep it in my travel school bag!Definitely a great Value for the money, and has been durable, and I would purchase again!

Perfect for my kids homeschool math kit.

I'll be using this to teach my children to count money when we homeschool. For that, it will work well. The bills are, of course paper, so they'll probably be outlasted by the coins. But that's to be expected. Overall, its good quality and good variety.The reason I docked a star is because it's not accurate. I'm lenient on the accuracy of the bills because you don't want to grab one on accident because you are in a rush and get it mixed up with really money. But the coins all have "play money" instead of "In God We Trust." They sacrificed accuracy for political correctness. For homeschool it will not matter. I teach using real money initially and then use the fake money for practice. But I am a former teacher. The use for this set in a classroom would be limited because I could not hand it out to the students and let them look at them while we talked about the details. Real money just isn't the sort of thing you hand out in a classroom. If this was for my previous and future classes, I would send it back. Many companies print play money like this, but because Learning Resources makes educational toys and materials, I would expect higher standards as far as accuracy is concerned.

This is a great set to help the kids learn about money. It has some of everything, though I doubt most kids will ever need to know about dollar and half dollar coins. The coins and dollars look realistic enough for kids without looking real enough to mistakenly put in your wallet if your kids leave a few on the floor after cleaning up. The bills are just paper, and need a little care of you want them looking nice for a long time. The coins are a more durable plastic and should hold up well.

This is the perfect little jar of money for a homeschool classroom. It has everything you need and a convenient jar to store the coins in.
