Money worksheet generator

Create a printable money worksheet using Australian coins and notes. Students count a handful of pieces to find the total, work out the change from a purchase, or do both on one page. Set the largest amount ($5, $10, $20 or $50), restrict the worksheet to coins for younger students, and download an A4 or US Letter PDF with an answer key.

Choose counting or change, preview the worksheet instantly, then download the PDF — no account needed.

  2. Set the largest amount and whether to use coins only, then watch the live preview update.
  3. Download the PDF with the answer key, or copy a share link that restores these settings.

Using these worksheets in teaching

Money is one of the few genuinely everyday uses of arithmetic, and it exercises several skills at once: reading the value of each piece, adding unlike amounts, and subtracting to find change. Start with coins only and totals under $5 so the counting stays concrete, then add notes. Change questions are harder than they look — most students find counting up from the cost to the amount paid easier than formal subtraction, so it is worth teaching that strategy explicitly. Keep real or plastic coins on the desk for anyone still learning the values.

Frequently asked questions

Which coins and notes are used?
Australian cash: 5c, 10c, 20c and 50c coins, $1 and $2 coins, and $5, $10, $20 and $50 notes. Totals are rounded to the nearest 5c, exactly as cash payments are rounded in Australia.
What is the difference between counting and change?
A counting question shows a set of pieces — for example 3 × 50c + 2 × 20c — and asks for the total. A change question gives the cost and the amount paid and asks for the change. Mixed mode prints both kinds on one worksheet.
Can I keep it to coins only?
Yes. Turn on coins only and no note appears anywhere on the sheet, including the amount paid in a change question — those are paid with coins, so the cost stays under $2. It suits early counting while the coin values themselves are still being learnt.
How large do the amounts get?
You choose the cap: $5, $10, $20 or $50. Totals under $5 keep the arithmetic within reach while students are still learning what each piece is worth. With coins only, change questions stay below the largest coin instead, so that a coin can always pay for the purchase.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Turn on the answer key and it is added as clearly labelled pages at the end of the same PDF.
