Coins have educational value, allowing young students to learn about
money by touching and feeling the actual currency. Demonstrations using
coins can be difficult if you don't use strong paper surfaces. Poster
board allows an assortment of coins to be viewed at the same time. It's
especially useful in presentations and for visual learners.
