Large Print Australian Money – Take Note
Designed with accessibility in mind, this oversized set (over three times larger than real money) provides a clear and engaging way to explore Australian currency. The large format makes it easier for older adults, including those living with dementia or with vision difficulties, to see and handle the cards comfortably.
Each sturdy laminated card shows both sides of a note in realistic detail and accurate proportion. On the reverse, easy-to-read information highlights the famous Australians and unique animals featured on our currency, offering opportunities for reminiscence, conversation, and memory support.
This resource is not only valuable in classrooms, but also highly suitable for aged care, dementia care, and intergenerational activities. It can assist with:
