Spending Coins
This program gives practice in spending coins to purchase an object, whose price is displayed. The purchase is made by dragging coins from a purse into a hand to the exact cost of the object. The purse always contains enough money to purchase the object plus a random number of additional coins.
The object's price is randomly generated within limits selected by the tutor, who also controls the maximum denomination of the coins appearing in the purse. The amount currently paid is optionally displayed and is updated as each new coin is placed in the hand.
The currency used for the program is pounds sterling. Requests for the program to be customised to other currencies would be considered. If you are interested a different currency send an e-mail giving details of your requirements.
