Coins and Money
Help me organize these coins.
That’s a lot of money! What did you do? Break the piggy bank?
Yeah, I’m gonna go to the bank and change it for bills, but first I have to separate them into little piles.
Ok, I’ll find all the quarters and dimes while you sort the nickels and pennies.
Great, then we can add everything up and take it to the bank.
I found some coins that are not from here.
Oh yeah, those are from my trip to London. I have a couple of different pence, but in all it won’t add up to one pound.
Are you sure the bank will change these coins for you?
Hopefully!
