THE FOUR TYPES OF COINSSection 1
What are Coins?
Coins are pieces of money, usually made of a certain type of metal. In the U.S., there are 4 main types of coins. We will look at all of them in this slideshow.
The Penny

More about the Penny
A penny is a small copper coin worth 1 cent. This is the smallest coin (in value) of the U.S. currency system, worth only 1/100 of a dollar!
The Nickel
These two coins below are both nickels.

More about the Nickel
A nickel is larger than the penny, both in size and in value. It is worth 5 cents, or, 5 pennies. It is still relatively small in value, however. It takes 20 nickels to make one dollar!
The Dime
These two coins below are both dimes.

More about the Dime
The dime is the smallest coin in size, but the second largest (of the four we are going to talk about) in value! It is worth 10 cents, or, 2 nickels, or 10 pennies. It takes 10 dimes to make a dollar (100 cents).
The Quarter
These two coins below are both quarters.

More about the Quarter
The quarter is the largest of the 4 coins, both in size and in value. It is worth 25 cents. That is 25 pennies, 5 nickels, and 2 1/2 dimes! It only takes 4 quarters to make a dollar, just like it takes 4 quarter-slices of pie to make a whole pie!

Recalling Coin Values

We can use this chart to help us remember the values of each coin, until we can just know them from memory.
Finding Values of Coins
To find the value of a set of coins, all we have to do is add the values of those coins together. Let’s practice!

We have three dimes. All we have to do to find the total value of those coins is add their values together. So, let’s do it!
10 cents
10 cents
10 cents
Each of these dimes is worth 10 cents.So, if we add 10+10+10, we get 30. These
coins’ total value is 30 cents!

We have one dime and one nickel. Remember, all we have to do to find the total value of those coins is add their values together. So, let’s do it!
10 cents
5 cents
A dime is worth 10 cents, and a nickel is worth 5 cents. If we add these two coins together, we see that the total value is 15 cents!
