Free Printable Money Charts (U.S. Coins and Bills)

About these money chart handouts

Counting money is a skill students use outside school every day, and it ties together skip counting, place value and decimals. These two charts give students a clean reference with the name, symbol and value of each piece.

The coin chart shows the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar and dollar coin as simple circles with the value in the center. The coins are drawn in true size order, with the dime smallest and the half dollar largest, and the page says they are not to scale. A table shows how many of each coin make one dollar and two example ways to make 41 and 60 cents.

The bills chart shows $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 as plain labeled rectangles with the value in large type and the name beneath. It is a practice shape, not a copy of real currency, so it is safe to copy and cut for play money. Five ways to make $20 are listed on the page.

Every count on the page, such as 4 quarters or 20 nickels in a dollar, was checked by multiplying the coin value, and the coin sizes follow the U.S. Mint's published diameters.

How to use them

1. Choose coins or bills.
2. Edit the title and add a student name and date.
3. Print on cardstock if you want to cut out play money.
4. Ask students to show a price like 63 cents in two different ways.

Classroom tips

• Practice counting from the largest coin to the smallest.
• Skip count by 5s and 10s before counting a handful of coins.
• Use the bills chart to teach that $5 is five $1 bills and ask for other combinations.
• Set up a class store and use the chart as a price and payment guide.
