Skill: Identify coins and bills

Coins and bills have fixed names and values:

• penny $=1\text{¢}$
• nickel $=5\text{¢}$
• dime $=10\text{¢}$
• quarter $=25\text{¢}$
• half-dollar $=50\text{¢}$
• $1 bill$=$$1.00$

To identify money, look at the coin or bill and match it to its name and value.

Example: What is the total value of a quarter, a dime, a nickel, two pennies, and a $1 bill?

1. Identify each coin:

   • quarter $=25\text{¢}$
   • dime $=10\text{¢}$
   • nickel $=5\text{¢}$
   • two pennies $=2\text{¢}$

2. Add the coin values:

$$25\text{¢}+10\text{¢}+5\text{¢}+2\text{¢}=42\text{¢}$$

3. Identify the bill:

$$\$1=100\text{¢}$$

4. Combine the bill and coins:

$$100\text{¢}+42\text{¢}=142\text{¢}$$

5. Write the amount in dollars and cents:

$$142\text{¢}=\$1.42$$

So, the total value is $1.42, or 142¢.
