Learn Money is a coin counting browser game. You have an unorganized pile of coins in all denominations, and you are presented with a toy that you want to buy and its price. You then drag the coins from your pile into a box until you have the exact price of your toy. You click "Buy" and if you are correct, you get the toy. If you were short or over, the shopkeeper is kind enough to tell you.
The US Mint has a kids section with interesting facts and information about our currency. Choose any of the 50 states and an uncolored image of that state quarter shows up. Kids then paint the coin to their liking. This game provides an excellent opportunity to discuss the consistency of denomination value, despite image changes. Once they understand that a quarter is a quarter, regardless of what picture is on it, they will be better equipped to count coins.
