- This is a great resource. I made a whole set of play money for my kids too. We use Eastern Caribbean dollars and since there were no good versions on line I asked a friend to photograph each bill, printed them in full colour, matched back and front and laminated. My kids love to play with it and as you mention it's a great way to teach them about finances and counting from a very young age! Here's my post on how we made ours if you are interested http://onelovelivity.com/childofnatureblog/an-easy-way-to-make-money---well-play-money/
