Coin Information

Please review all coins with your children at home:

Penny, Nickel, Dime and Quarter

Children need to know the value of the Penny, Nickel, Dime and Quarter and to be able to identify all the coins by the end of the year. Students will also use these coins to make coin combinations to pay for items.

I have attached coin poems below to help your child remember the coins.

Penny, penny,

Easily spent,

Copper brown

And worth one cent!

Whose fine face is on the penny?

On the penny, on the penny,

Whose fine face is on the penny?

Nickel, Nickel,

Thick and fat,

You’re worth five cents

I know that!

On the nickel, on the nickel

Whose fine face is on the nickel?

The Dime

Dime, dime,

Little and thin,

I remember

You’re worth ten!

Whose fine face is on the dime?

On the dime, on the dime,

Whose fine face is on the dime?

The Quarter

Quarter, quarter,

Big and bold,

You’re worth twenty-five

I’m told!

Whose fine face is on the quarter?

On the quarter, on the quarter,

Whose fine face is on the quarter?

George Washington’s
