Giving Change in Euros
This program gives practice in giving change for the purchase of an object, whose price is displayed. Initially the hand contains the money being tendered for the purchase. The change is given by dragging money from the till into the hand.
The currency used for the program is the Euro. There are also versions in other currencies; see here. Requests for the program to be customised to another currency would be considered. If you are interested send an e-mail giving details of your requirements.
Before the main window appears, you will have been asked to select the highest denomination to be tendered for the purchase. You can change this subsequently by choosing an option from the Highest Denomination menu.
The object's price is randomly generated to be less than the money being tendered. The amount tendered and the change so far given is displayed and updated as more money is placed in the hand.
The instructions for using the program are displayed on the screen and (optionally) heard.
