Australian Money Information Posters are a fantastic visual tool to help students learn about and recognise Australian currency. Each poster provides key details about a coin or note, including its colour, shape, and the unique images or motifs that appear on it. The clear, student friendly layout makes these posters a perfect reference for whole class or small group learning.

These posters are especially useful during a unit of work on money, or as part of your regular classroom set up. Display them on your maths wall, in group work areas, or use them as anchor charts during explicit teaching. They also support independent learners who can refer to the posters as they practise identifying, sorting, and using Australian coins and notes in everyday maths activities.

With multiple format options, this resource can be easily adapted to your classroom needs. Editable versions allow you to customise content, while the basic fun font provides easy readability for younger learners. Versions in all Australian state fonts ensure consistency with handwriting programs, making these posters a flexible and curriculum aligned addition to your classroom.
