📝 Explanation:

Each coin was identified by its color and number:
- Gold coins: 10c, 20c, R1
- Silver coins: 5c, 50c
- Bronze coins: 1c, 2c

We added all values in cents first. When total exceeds 100 cents, we convert to Rand (R) and cents (e.g., 102c = R1.02).

This helps students understand value recognition and basic addition with real-world money.
