hi my name is Kylie and welcome to County money 1 the value of money money
is a way for us to exchange one thing for something else we give money to get
a product like markers or a service like a haircut in this video you'll learn the
value of coins and dollar bills so that you can use money in exchange for
something you want to buy
did you know that before coins and bills people traded stones beads feathers and
other objects to get something they wanted whoa counting money is different
from counting objects like pieces of candy
that's because money comes in denominations or set amounts this means
each type of coin or dollar bill has a special value let's look at the value of
money more closely to understand what I mean we're going to start with coins
which are small metal pieces of money in the United States we have coins that
represent one penny five cents or a nickel ten cents or a dime and 25 cents
or a quarter we also have a half dollar coin and a gold-plated one dollar coin
but these are really rare and you may hardly see them this is a penny it is
made of copper which is why it is that color a penny is worth one cent and this
is the symbol for cent there are 100 cents in one dollar that means it takes
100 pennies to make one dollar
this is a nickel a nickel is worth five cents and five cents is the same as five
pennies a nickel is bigger than a penny in size and is silver instead of copper
one county Mickle's you'll count by 5 5 10 15 20
this makes 20 cents
there are 20 nickle's in $1 that means it takes 20 nickle's to be worth the
same as $1
this is a dime a dime is worth 10 cents 10 cents is the same as 10 pennies but
also the same as two nickels the dime is silver and quite small but don't be
fooled by its size even though it's small it's actually worth more than a
nickel to count dimes you'll count by tens 10 20 30 40
this makes 40 cents there are 10 dimes in one dollar so you'll need 10 dimes to
make one whole dollar this is a quarter a quarter is worth 25 cents to make the
same value as a quarter you would need two dimes plus a nickel that's 25 cents
a quarter is larger in size than the other coins and it's silver you'll count
quarters by 25 25 50 75 you have 75 cents here
there are four quarters in a dollar that means you'll need four quarters to
have the same value as one dollar paper money is known as dollar bills this is
one dollar bill you'll count these as one a one dollar bill is the same amount
as four quarters ten dimes 20 nickels or 100 pennies
this is a five dollar bill it equals five $1 bills this is a ten dollar bill
it's the same as ten $1 bills or two $5 bills this is a twenty dollar bill it's
the same as two $10 bills for $5 bills or $21 bills you can now understand the
value of money you receive as gifts or as an allowance you can practice some
