& Play Calculator Cash Register
by Learning Resources
The chiming cash register features a built-in solar calculator
as its keypad, thus allowing kids to act as bankers, shopkeepers,
and accountants all at once. A large cash drawer holds life-sized
bills in four denominations (1, 5, 10, and 20), and four coin
holders make room for embossed plastic pennies, nickels, dimes,
and quarters. There is even a credit card slot that dings when
you correctly slide the faux VISA card through it.

would "replicate and create, try, reject, and redesign every
monetary form ever invented anywhere else."
