Introduction to U.S. Money (for ESL students)



Kat Avila: Introduction to U.S. Money (for ESL students)

PowerPoint review of U.S. coins and bills for English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) learners. Note that U.S. coins do not have numbers on them that indicate their value. For example, the 10-cent coin has the word "dime" on it. A person must have good eyesight, be able to read English, and know what the word "dime" means. Newly arrived immigrants and first-time visitors to the United States can benefit from this review.
