Are these real coin pictures?

Yes. The coins are United States Mint photographs, which are in the public domain, and the bills are the current fronts published for the public by the U.S. Currency Education Program. Real pictures matter for a child who does not easily carry a skill from a drawing to the real thing.

Is it legal to print pictures of money?

Yes, within the federal rules. A color picture of a bill must be smaller than 75 percent or larger than 150 percent of real size and printed on one side only. The bills in this pack print at 70 percent of real size, front only. Coin pictures may print at real size, which is why the value chart can show each coin exactly as big as it is.

My child cannot read yet. Can they still use it?

Yes. The early pages work from pictures: sort the coin onto the mat where its outline shows, match a coin to the same coin, and circle yes or no on Can I Buy It? An adult reads any words aloud. Matching starts errorless, with one choice, so the first pages build confidence before there is anything to get wrong.

The U.S. stopped making pennies. Why is the penny still here?

The Mint struck its last circulating penny in November 2025, but pennies are still legal money and billions are still in use. The teacher guide notes that some stores now round cash totals to the nearest 5 cents.

What age is this for?

It is written for young learners in preschool through second grade and for older students in special education who are still learning coins. The pages use plain words, large coins and no cartoon characters, so they also suit an older child.

What formats do I get, and how is it delivered?

Print-ready US Letter and A4 PDFs, everything single-sided. Delivery is instant: the download unlocks as soon as you buy, a copy of the link is emailed to you, and the files stay in your My Resources library.

Counting coins and bills for kids with autism, with real coin photos: name, sort, match and count the four coins, then count bills, decide Can I Buy It? and make an amount. Coin cards and a coin value chart with each coin at its real size open the pack; sort mats with a glue circle for each cut-out coin and errorless matching come next. Then four skip-counting pages, eight mixed-coin problems counted biggest coin first, bill cards for six bills with eight count-the-bills problems, eight Can I Buy It? problems and six make-the-amount cards. Plus a data sheet, an answer key and three copy-paste IEP goals.

Instant download after checkout. No account needed.

Most coin worksheets draw a penny as a brown circle with a face on it, and a child who learns from those can still be stuck at a real register. This pack uses photographs of real US coins and real bill fronts, so the coin on the page is the coin in a pocket. It starts where a child who learns differently needs to start: four coin cards and a coin value chart that prints each coin at its real size, so a child can lay a real penny on the chart and see it match. Sort mats come next, with a glue circle sized to each cut-out coin, then matching that begins with one choice and no way to get it wrong before it moves to two, three and values. Counting builds the same way: four pages that skip count one kind of coin, then eight mixed sets counted biggest coin first. Bill cards for six bills, eight Can I Buy It? problems and six make-the-amount cards carry it to a pretend store. A data sheet with prompt levels, an answer key and three IEP goals close it out.
