First we make penny bracklets 4/6 penny each clear package tape
Design your own dollar /money i just made a simple bill design let them see where they go with it .
We sort coins and we pattern the money heads and tails . We also put in order large to small
Do coin rubbing lay the coin under white or any paper and let them color over them it magic president will appear.
I made my own resourse sheet but then found this great site for resourse on who on each coin and bills
