This play money set is an excellent educational tool for children, promoting skills in counting, basic arithmetic, and financial responsibility through imaginative play. Guests appreciate the realistic design and quality of the bills and coins, making it a fun gift for kids. However, many suggest that a lid for the storage box would enhance usability and prevent pieces from scattering. Overall, it serves as a great resource for home-based learning and creative play.

Got Two Packages of Quarters, Would Love a Lid
I just contacted customer service this afternoon because the set I bought had two packages of quarters and no nickels. M&D are currently out of stock on these sets, but the CS rep took down my info and will be getting back to me about hopefully getting replacement nickels. We haven't used the money yet except for the pennies as we just opened it today, but it seems very well made. Maybe a future set could have a lid for easy storage and transporting.

DO NOT BUY THIS FOR YOUR HOME
This review is specific to people who are looking to purchase this toy for kids to use in a home-based setting. Heed my warning and don't do it. Sure, the tray is nice and the money is of a very good quality, but there is too much of it. TOO. MUCH. If you bring this into your home, it will scatter everywhere. You will find it in and under beds, in drawers, inside of books, inside approximately 38 different bags at the same time, in your mixing bowls, under your rugs, smushed into the corner behind the bathroom door, and constantly in your pockets as you jam it in there in a futile attempt to control the outbreak that has infiltrated every nook and cranny of your dwelling space. Trust me, go to a dollar store and get a nice little play money set with like fifteen or so pieces.

Melissa and Doug Play Money
The money comes in a long wooden box, but there's no top. So when you open the paper money and coins its easy to lose because their loose. Theres no cover to the top when your not using them. You'd have to keep these safe for your children.

Nice set!
Nice set! The bills are of good quality. Not to thin. My daughter loves numbers she’s in the second grade. Math is her # 1 subject. She loves math class. I thought this will be nice to help her learn how to count with money. The bills are a good size. (Bigger then Monopoly Money). Just right for small hands. Everything came as advertised.

Needs Top!
A good set but for the price it should have a top . I may take back unless I can fine a good storage solution. All the pieces will be all over and then thrown away. Disappointed.

Excellent buy
This is a wonderful purchase, giving as a gift to grandkid for their one stop shop. This also makes a wonderful way to teach money counting without a calculator, and how to give change back properly.

Box needs a cover
The money--bills and coins--are terrific. And the wooden box is great as far as it goes--nice and sturdy. However, it really is useless since it doesn't have any kind of a cover. I do personal finance workshops and carry the money with me from venue to venue. Instead of keeping the money in the wooden boxes, I had put everything into Ziplock bags in order to safely transport it.

could be better
there needs to be a "lid" for storage when the money is not in use so it stays inside the box neatly

Get this, your kids will use it all the time!
Get this!! Your kids will love it. We have had this for 5 years. My 11 year old still uses this all the time when he is playing with his friends and my youngest son. They are so creative in the ways they imagine they are using the money. They will make up skits, pretend to sell each other things, etc. My oldest son has been using this fake money since he was 6 years old when he received it as a gift. This is a great item to have in your playroom that encourages creative play.
