You should be able to recognise the following British coins - otherwise, shopping could be a bit of a problem!
You should know how much each coin is worth.
1p
2p
5p
10p
20p
50p
Example
Add up the total value of these coins in pence.
Answer
In pence, we have 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 20 + 50.
Add up from the largest:
50 + 20 = 70
70 + 10 = 80
80 + 5 = 85
85 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 85 + 6 = 91
91 + 1 + 1 = 91 + 2 = 93p
Sometimes, it is easier to add up the totals of each type of coin, starting with the largest.
so we have... 50 + 20 + 10 + 5 + 6 + 2 = 93p
