Color By Coin: Identifying Pennies, Nickels, Dimes and Quarters ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a “Color by Coin” worksheet. That means we need to look at each coin in the picture, figure out what kind of coin it is (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, or half-dollar), then use the color key to color that section.

Here’s the color key:

- Orange = 1¢ → Penny
- Green = 5¢ → Nickel
- Red = 10¢ → Dime
- Blue = 25¢ → Quarter
- Purple = 50¢ → Half-dollar

Now, let’s identify each coin type by its image:

✔ Penny (1¢): Shows Abraham Lincoln on front, and “ONE CENT” on back.
✔ Nickel (5¢): Shows Thomas Jefferson on front, Monticello on back.
✔ Dime (10¢): Shows Franklin D. Roosevelt on front, torch/olive branch/oak branch on back.
✔ Quarter (25¢): Shows George Washington on front, eagle or state design on back — here it says “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA QUARTER DOLLAR”.
✔ Half-dollar (50¢): Shows John F. Kennedy on front, Presidential Seal on back — says “HALF DOLLAR”.

Now, go through each section in the coloring page and match the coin inside to its value, then assign the correct color.

But since you’re asking for the *solution*, I assume you want to know which color goes where — but since this is a coloring activity, there isn’t one single “answer” like a math problem. However, if the goal is to correctly color every section based on the coin shown, then the “final answer” is simply following the key accurately.

Wait — maybe you’re being asked to count how many of each coin there are? Or perhaps just to understand how to do it?

Actually, looking again — this is a coloring sheet. The “problem” is to color each region according to the coin pictured in it.

So the solution is: For every shape in the puzzle, look at the coin drawn inside it, determine its value, then color that whole shape with the matching crayon color from the key.

Since no specific question was asked (like “how many quarters?” or “what color is this section?”), the only accurate “final answer” is to follow the instructions as designed.

But to give you something concrete — let’s say you pick one section as an example:

Example: If a section has a penny (Lincoln, “ONE CENT”), color it orange.
If a section has a nickel (Jefferson, Monticello), color it green.
If a section has a dime (Roosevelt, torch), color it red.
If a section has a quarter (Washington, “QUARTER DOLLAR”), color it blue.
If a section has a half-dollar (Kennedy, “HALF DOLLAR”), color it purple.

That’s the full solution.

Final Answer: Color each section based on the coin inside it using the key: orange for pennies (1¢), green for nickels (5¢), red for dimes (10¢), blue for quarters (25¢), purple for half-dollars (50¢).
