Review on Enhanced Learning with the Calculator Register Counting by Learning Resources by Alex Foley

I WOULD LIKE, but for two things

I WOULD LIKE, but for two things. I bought this to teach my kids how to manage money as I figured having separate places for all the cash would help them (unlike our old cash register which just had one big drawer to shuffle all the money together ). Well, it has separate compartments for everything but $20 bills. Oh I understand they don't fit. But I would easily donate a real amount of money to another branch for $20! I mean really, what exactly is the Realistic Size Play Money Raffle (other than coins)? The second problem is that when you press the button to open, it opens with a SLAMP, which almost always makes the coins bounce. to and from the register or into other compartments, defeating the purpose of having separate compartments. Also, I like the beep sound when you insert the "card" into the "card reader". I love the beep for each of the keys and it makes a nice "CHING!" when you open the box. Oh, and I love that it has a button to open the drawer. Our last list was just a box you pulled out. Not at all pleasant! I replaced the dumb notepad (which obviously didn't stay in place) with a sticky notepad so it wouldn't fall off. Yes, their "receipts" are sticky, but they don't care. They really like it.

Pros
