The five coins New Zealand and Australia both use, in one chart: 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, one dollar and two dollars. Each row shows the coin, its name, its value in cents and how many make two dollars. The coins are simple drawings, not the real designs: the silver coins are drawn bigger for bigger values, and the gold 2 dollar coin smaller than the 1 dollar coin, as it is in both countries. Australia also has a 5c coin, which is not on this chart.

Tips for this money chart

  • Lay a real coin on each drawing and read its value aloud.
  • Count the last column out loud: 4 fifty cent coins is 50, 1 dollar, 1.50, 2 dollars.
  • Ask why the 2 dollar coin is smaller than the 1 dollar coin.

It is a one-page reference chart with nothing to mark. The skip counting by 5s chart helps with nickels and quarters. When this sheet feels easy, move on to the adding money worksheet and the making change worksheet. See all money worksheets.
