Nestof3 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Does Walmart sell it? I know TAPS does, but I wasn't sure about any other spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Do you have a party store? They may have it in the party favor section. You could do a Google Image search and print them at home (just don't let the Feds know :):) Otherwise a teacher's store would have them.

Tap Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Walmart used to sell it in the educational supply/office supply section. I am not sure if they still do or not. You may also try the school supply section of large stores. Target often has a teacher section. In the past I have also just photocopied real bills on my color printer and used real coins. As long as you aren't trying to pass them off as real ones and do something to deface them, you are allowed to photocopy them. I emailed the treasury and asked them several years ago and they said it is allowed to photocopy them as long as they are marked in some way so they can't be passed in a store. I just photo copied one side (some fronts and some backs) to comply. If you want large bills and if you don't have any at home, you may try Googling to find images of the new bills. There are often pictures available to merchants so they know what the new bills look like before they come out. I made my own because I wanted the kids to know what the real money looked like so they would be more familiar with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Crazy Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 We bought ours at Wal-Mart last year, and I think that they still do sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotGirl Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have seen "play money" at walmart.Also you might check Big Lots, I am pretty sure they have it there even cheaper.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckabella Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have been looking for these too. Wal Mart here (we even just got a brand new Supercenter) does not carry it. Target does not either. Looks like I will be taking a trip to the teacher store (and pay more than I would at Wal Mart). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann@thebeach Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Our Dollar Tree has packs of play money now too-can't beat the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy in Indy Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Walmart usually has it in the office/school supply area. Even if they don't carry it all the time, they usually stock it during "back to school" time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivetails Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I've seen some just recently in the toy section of our Walmart - but we're in Canada and what they carry might be diff than the US ones (well, that's a for sure - ours doesn't have guns! ;) ) ....I've also seen it at various dollar stores.... Yeah the photocopy-the-real-stuff would prolly work better anyway - that way, kids get used to working with 'almost real' money that looks the same, versus the fake stuff with weird colours, sizes, and some strange characters on it.
