Five coins are shown one at a time with their values: nickel 5¢, dime 10¢, quarter 25¢, loonie $1 and toonie $2. The dime is set on the nickel to show that a smaller coin can be worth more. Then a pile of 10 dimes is counted by 10s, one dime at a time, up to 100 cents, which is checked as 100¢ = $1, the same as a loonie, before a one-line recap of every value.
