How to teach your kids the value of money

[jeff of pa]

buy 100 plastic pennies for the low, low price of $4.50

that's four cents per penny, and even more than the U.S. Mint pays to make real pennies.

No thanks ! I will use real money to teach them to count, it will be cheaper, the only play money I use is Monopoly and when a nephew joking said he wanted a Mazardi and a milllion bucks for his 16th BD well he got what he asked for and he LOVED it.
