In certain activities, the device (10) requests (visually and/or auditorily) the student to engage in randomly selected currency identification/manipulation problems. The student's response is compared with the correct response, and the information concerning the appropriateness of the response is provided to the student. In the case of erroneous response, the correct response can be presented to the student both arally and visually. A speech synthesizer (28) (and/or visual display)) (20) serve to generate a reguest to the student concerning the student's response. In the preferred embodiment, the device is provided with a plurality of operational modes ranging from merely generating an audible or visible signal identifying the ocrrect response to engaging in interactive activities and games related to money identification/handling problems.
