    Below are two sets of coins. You can either make square coins, which are easier and faster to cut out or you can make round coins. You only need one set. If you lose any pieces, you can always use the second set. In any case, they are all the same size even though they represent pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars. These represent coins from 1964-1969. The number represents the last digit of the year from 1964 through 1969 (4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9) and the letter represents the first letter of the denomination (P,N,D,Q or H). For instance, 6P would stand for a 1966 penny.

    You might want to keep these in an envelope and paperclip it to your workbook so they are readily available for use.
