You should be able to recognise the following British coins.
You should know how much each coin is worth.
1 p 
2 p 
5 p 
10 p 
20 p 
50 p 
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 = 93 p
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 = 93 p
