What we learn about size (i.e. the greater the size, the greater the value) and uniformity (i.e. we group like things together) is completely thrown out the window in relation to coins. \n\nEven though the penny and nickel are worth less than the dime, they're bigger in physical size, a confusing conundrum. And while all coins have the same function and are all 'part of a whole', the penny is \u003cem\u003eobviously\u003c\/em\u003e different than the others and solicits the question, why is the penny, worth a mere one cent, set apart from the others?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFortunately, Matt doesn't just bring coin confusion to light, but also provides a wonderful idea for helping your kindergartners keep their coins straight!
