Educational Insights Play Money Deluxe Set - Realistic Fake Money, Prop for Pretend Play or Teaching, Dollar Bills & Coins for Kids Cash Register, Toys & Gifts for Ages 5+

Great for learning how to count!!.

This is a great set! I needed realistic play money to help my Kindergartener learn to count. All of the sets I'd seen at the Dollar store, Walmart, etc., were too fake-looking, I was hoping for coins and dollars that look like the real thing so he could actually learn to identify and count money with them. Using real money wasn't working - it kept ending up in his piggy bank!The biggest differences between the play money and real money are that the bills are smaller, and the coins are lighter and have a big raised COPY printed on the backs. Other than that, it's hard to tell the real change from fake change! Since the bills are smaller, they fit in my child's hands better, the way real bills fit in an adult's hand. I included several pictures comparing the play money alongside real money, because that's what I was really needing to see when I spent hours research and debating between brands.We've had it for about couple months now and use it in money games, as allowance currency, etc., and it's so realistic even my bigger kids feel like they're really being paid. I paid full price for the set, which was just over $20 at the time, and it was worth it for what we needed it to do.I hope you found this review helpful!

This is a great set. I needed fake money to help the clients I work with learn money skills, but I needed the money to be as realistic as possible. I looked all around the internet before purchasing this set, and this purchase did not disappoint. The bills are slightly smaller than regular dollar bills but look very much like the currency in circulation. And the coins look so similar to real coins that I have gotten them confused with actual money at first glance!The other plus about this set is that there are so many materials in this set. We used this set to make two money trays, but we could have easily made three or possibly four if we needed to. This purchase has been great for the clients I work with. I recommend this set (or smaller sets if you don't need as many items) for anyone that is looking to teach money skills to another person.

This is so awesome to help kids learn to count money! It is the most accurate looking play money available! Of course it is a lot smaller then real money which is helpful. This also have so very much play money! It is great for multiple kids to play grocery shopping games! I use it with my daughter to help her with her math!

These coins and cash are very realistic, and they come in a handy tray to keep them organized when playing 'store'. The paper money is smaller than actual U.S. currency, (I suspect it is illegal to produce play money in real size), but larger than the cash that comes in a monopoly game. I was pleased by the quality of the plastic (no rough edges), and by the large quantity of coins in this set. This is a deluxe set in every way. An excellent choice for any budding entrepreneur.

Not bad. The dollar bills aren’t as realistic as the last set I bought from another brand. Also after I purchased this Amazon suggested another set that was 1/3rd the cost and they looked more realistic so took a star for the smaller yellow bills and one for cost. Does have a little tray to keep it in but it’s flimsy.

I have a student who just started learning decimals in school, and this seemed like a great way for him to practice his "money math". We play games where I buy things from his "store" and he has to make change or tell me how much more I owe him. It's a really great way for kids to practice their money-handling skills before they go and operate a lemonade stand or a bake sale on their own.I would note that the coins don't look nearly as real as in the photos, but I'd still give it 5/5 value for money. It's got a TON of bills, so you can have students practice making even fairly large purchases.

I am using this product to teach my autistic son money skills. Before I purchased this product I first looked at prop money. This product provided a greater variety of denominationsIn in larger quantities at a more affordable price. The play money is realistic looking but still identifiable as play money. My stepson likes using the play money to learn money skills.
