What Does Money Look Like? The World of Money By: Alissa Cattron
How Do People Use Coins? • People use coins every day. We use coins when we buy something at a store, or when we make change. Coins are the most basic part of our money system. Before we use coins we have to learn what the look like.
The Money We Will Learn • We are going to learn about coins. • The four coins are : • Pennies • Nickels • Dimes • Quarters
A Penny • A penny is worth 1 cent or $0.01. • A picture of Abraham Lincoln is on the front of the penny. • A picture of the Lincoln memorial is on the back of the penny.
A Penny Rhyme • Penny, penny, Easily spent. Copper brown and worth one cent.
A Nickel • A nickel is worth 5 cents or $0.05. • A picture of Thomas Jefferson is on the front of the nickel. • A picture of the Monticello is on the back of the nickel (which was Thomas Jefferson’s home).
A Nickel Rhyme • Nickel, nickel, Thick and fat. You’re worth five cents, I know that.
A Dime • A dime is worth 10 cents or $0.10. • A picture of Dewight D. Eisenhower is on the front of the dime. • A torch is on the back of the dime.
A Dime Rhyme • Dime, dime, Little and thin. I Remember, you’re worth ten.
A Quarter • A quarter is worth 25 cents or $0.25. • A picture of George Washington is on the front of the quarter. • A picture of the bald eagle is on the back of the quarter.
A Quarter Rhyme • Quarter, quarter, big and bold. You’re worth twenty-five I am told. • (The back of this quarter is one of the new 50 states designs.)
What We Have Learned • We have learned about coins. • We now know what the penny, nickel, dime and quarter look like. • We also know the value of each coin. • The information we have learned will be very useful in the future. • We have also learned a poem to help us remember the coins.
