Money

• We can write money in different ways.
  • For example, five pounds is written as £5.
  • Twenty pence is written as 20p.

• We can also write combinations of pounds and pence.
• For example, ten pounds and forty-five pence can be written as:
• £10 and 45p or £10.45
• You should not write the £ and the p sign together without using ‘and’.
  • £3.50p is NOT correct.
  • £3 and 50p is fine.

• UK coins and notes come in different amounts.
• The coins are 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2.
• The notes are £5, £10, £20 and £50.

It is useful to know by heart how many of each coin there are in £1.

• There are 100 pence in £1.
• There are fifty 2p in £1.
• There are twenty 5p in £1.
• There are ten 10p in £1.
• There are five 20p in £1.
• There are 2 50p in £1.
