ABSTRACT:
An educational game including a game board. The game board is a sheet of material having top and bottom surfaces. Each of the surfaces has a plurality of circular recesses therein. The recesses are of a number of predetermined diameters slightly larger than the diameters of various coin denominations. The top surface of the sheet is divided into a number of sub-areas. Each sub-area is divided into first and second portions and all the portions include at least one of the recesses. The first portion of each sub-area includes recesses having diameters which are slightly larger than the diameters of coins summing a certain monetary value. Each second portion of every sub-area includes recesses having diameters slightly larger than the diameters of coins which also total the certain monetary value. This teaches the equivalency of coins since, in all the sub-areas, the coins in the first portion are equal in value to the coins in the second portion. The bottom surface is played by selecting a monetary value and placing coins in the appropriate recesses which sum the monetary value.
