Dime

There are two types of money, coins and bills. Coins include quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. 

This is both sides of a dime: 

Here are some facts about the dime.

  • It is made of copper and nickel. 
  • The dime is worth ten cents (10¢).
  • It is the smallest coin. 
  • President Franklin Roosevelt is on the HEADS of the coin (front side). 
  • A torch, oak branch and olive branch are on the TAILS side of the coin (back side).

When we count dimes we count by tens! This is thirty cents (30¢) AND 3 dimes.

                      10¢                                          20¢                                           30¢

HOW MUCH MONEY IS THIS?

This is sixty cents (60¢)!!

And how many dimes?

That’s right, 6 dimes! Fabulous job counting DIMES scholars 🙂
