Review: Great Educational toy - Overall, the Melissa & Doug Play Money Set is a great educational toy, but be aware of the potential for mess due to the open-top storage box. It’s high quality, with sturdy coins and a durable wooden "cash drawer" for sorting. I appreciate that the paper bills and plastic coins are familiar-looking and close in size to real currency, which enhances the imaginative play experience and learning accuracy. For storage purposes, I may use some ziploc bags in the future, but for now my son has been good at keeping everything mostly organized. (Age 5)
Review: Fake money worth the money. - Great quality as always from Melissa and Doug. A great learning add for kids today as so many can’t make change for a dollar. Messy picking it all up but fun just the same.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many of each denomination does it come with?**
A: Hi William, glad to be of help.  The set includes 50 singles, 50 five dollar bills, 50 ten dollar bills, 50 twenty dollar bills, 50 fifty dollar bills, 50 one hundred dollar bills, 50 half-dollar coins, 50 quarters, 50 dimes, 50 nickels, and 50 pennies.

**Q: Is there a plastic cover that fits over the wooden cash drawer**
A: Hi there, thank you for your question. We do not have a cover designed to go over the cash drawer at this time. I will be sure to pass your suggestion along to Melissa and Doug, who truly appreciate your continued support of our products.

**Q: A reviewer said his set had a clear plexiglass lid, yet others complained about no lid. I do not want to buy it without a lid. Is there one?**
A: I did not receive a lid.  However, I simply have my grandchildren push under couch when done.  I know this is not a solution some want to deal with, but the quality of the product is worth it to us.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Does this money fit in a Learning Resources cash register?**
A: The bills measure approx. 2 5/8 inches by 6 1/4 inches.  You can cut a piece of paper to that size and check if it fits in toy register.  The coins are true to size (measurements are same as the real US coins).  Also, if you are really desperate for a money set (and have a paper trimmer) and this is slightly too big, you can trim the paper money a bit--there is 1/8 inch of blank paper space on all sides of each bill (I hope that makes sense).
