Learning Resources UK Play Money Set, Ages 3+, Toy Money Notes & Coins

I bought two packs so that we could carry out some money related activities in Rainbows and Brownies. We used it for the first time this week. Quality was fine, although the colours were slightly dark. However, size, shape, and coin markings were excellent. The girls loved identifying the different coins. They tried various activities. It's more important than ever to teach children about money, because so many don't see it, as parents use debit cards to pay for most things. We didn't use the notes, which are considerably smaller than real money notes. However, that's not an issue for us - we wanted the girls to learn about coins. The pack isn't the cheapest, but I didn't want inaccurate plastic coinage. I wanted it to be as realistic as possible so that the girls learned properly. This pack achieves that aim. It is well worth the price, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to use it with children. As the coins are plastic, they will last for several years. This means that for our units, the packs are good value for money.

If you are wondering whether play money actually helps children learn, yes. It makes counting, prices and simple sums feel much more real than just writing numbers on paper. The coins and notes are great for shop-style games, giving change, sorting amounts and recognising money. It is useful because it feels like play, not homework. My tip would be to set up a little pretend shop and ask children to buy things with exact amounts. That turns the learning into a game. Brilliant educational set and five stars.

The coins are fun and detailed. The notes, however, are not as pictured; they have the king on them. The notes are also few in number and tiny. All items are high quality. Overall this is a fantastic addition to our school set of international money.

Looks very authentic, easy to handle as all the same size as proper coins, notes slightly smaller but easy to use. Good quality and size.

I bought as a toy for my parrot as he started trying to grab the odd few pennies we had lying around on our counter tops. They're a good size for him (to grab) and he gives them a little chew. Good quality and durable since they're still standing from a parrot trying to chew them. A fun bag of coins that he enjoys the noise of and picking them up to give to us.

I was quite pleased with this pack of play money, as the coins were well marked and similar in size to the real thing and a good number of each one. The paper money is much smaller than the real thing, but it is made for little hands. I've seen other people complain about this and the fact that it has specimen written on it, but I think that has to be as they are life like on the printed side. To be clear, they are only printed on one side which is a little disappointing. However it is toy money! One nice thing about the coins is that when shaken in the hand, they sound like real coins! Overall I am very pleased with these to help my grandchildren with their counting. If they are for older folk I agree they are not "real" enough looking.

Really good set of notes and coins. Great for learning. Use them with my 5 year old daily

Quite expensive for what was in the pack.
