Coin Recognition

Subject: Recognition of Coins

I have an 8-year-old son who is in the 3rd grade. He is working on 
money in class and I am looking for something that shows what each 
coin looks like. Do you know where I can find something like that?

Thank you.

Hi Tammy - thanks for writing to Dr. Math.

Here are pictures of some coins:

although, if you're in the United States, it would be better to get 
one of each coin at a bank, and let your son handle them and see both 
sides.

There are other pictures at
