Which coins are on the sheets?

The New Generation Currency coins: the ₱1, the nine-sided ₱5, the ₱10 and the two-colour ₱20, drawn to their real sizes next to each other. Coins and notes adds the ₱50 and ₱100 notes.

Are the coins real pictures?

No. They are clear drawings sized and shaped like the real coins and notes, labelled with their value, so children learn to recognise them without needing a colour printer.

How hard are the problems?

Coins only gives small totals for beginners. Coins and notes gives bigger totals for children who can already count coins.

Do the sheets come with answers?

Yes. Every sheet has its own answer key, worked out from the exact coins on that sheet, at the end of the PDF.

Can I make a different sheet for each child?

Yes. Choose 5, 10 or 25 versions. Every version has different coins and totals.

Philippine Money Worksheets: Counting Peso Coins and Bills

Counting money, the way children learn it

Children first learn to recognise each coin and note and its value, then to count a handful of the same coin, and then to add mixed coins by starting with the one worth the most and counting on. The coins on every problem are sorted from biggest to smallest value to support that habit.

Counting in pesos

Sentimo coins are rarely used in counting lessons, so every amount on these sheets is in whole pesos, written ₱15 or ₱120. Children start with the coins, then add notes as the totals grow.

In the MATATAG curriculum

KinderRecognising Philippine coins and bills, and why money matters.
Grade 1Coins and bills up to ₱100, without centavo coins: values, comparing, adding to ₱100 and subtracting below ₱100.
Grade 2Coins and bills up to ₱1000, adding money, and multiplication and division problems with money.
Grade 3Amounts up to ₱10,000, written with the peso sign and the centavo sign.

Peso-only amounts make these sheets a close fit for Grade 1, where centavo coins are left out on purpose; centavos come back in Grade 3. The ₱20 coin has replaced the ₱20 note, which is being withdrawn as it wears out.

The ₱50 and ₱100 now circulate in two versions: the paper New Generation Currency notes and the newer polymer notes that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas unveiled in December 2024. Show children both, so they know they are worth the same.
