Great App

I like the variety of ways the app works with money. The only improvement I can suggest is that the bills are small when you are in the counting menu and hard to read on an ipod touch.

Fix size of coins!

In real life there is an obvious size difference between all of the coins, but this app doesn't show that difference. I teach students with exceptional needs, and I teach them functional living skills such as counting money. When I did the first problem I was sure that it was showing me two nickels so I entered in 10 cents. I was dumbfounded to receive the message that the amount was too little. I wasn't sure what was going on so I kept entering the same answer until it finally told me that the correct answer was 30 cents. I then looked closer at the coins and sure enough one was a quarter and one was a nickel. The next problem showed the penny being the same size as the nickel. One of the main ways my students tell the difference between coins is by their size, which means that they would have a hard time successfully using this app. Fix this issue and I think it would be a good app.

Love it

Can't wait to try it. I can see that it's the same app from the one i'm using right now but i didn't know there's one with bills included, this is gonna be awesome. It'll help me alot as a cashier ugh idk why i took this job but using this app will help me alot since i don't like working with numbers especially coins.
