What

OK

Can we get $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills?

Excellent but please add UK pounds

This app, like all from the Maths Learning Center, is absolutely brilliant but only really useful for teaching US dollars. Could you please add in UK pounds as well.

Fab teaching tool

Why not also available in other currencies such as Euros and Pound Sterling???

Cool teaching tool

This app is so useful in our homeschool. I love being able to show how pennies "change into" nickels or dimes etc. The grid feature is cool too. This app is a teaching tool that can be used with any curriculum, for many different ages. Free, and no ads!
