Australian Money Matching - The student matches pictures of coins and notes with similar pictures.This teaching program aimed at autistic, learning disabled, and young mainstream children.

Here, all six coins (5¢, 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, $1 and $2) and five notes ($5, $10, $20, $50 and $100) appear in a two-row, two-column matrix on the screen. When the mouse pointer moves over the picture of a coin or note, another picture of the coin or note appears in the box on the right side of the screen. The picture of the coin or note rotates so that both the front and back can be seen.
