This review of Aussie Kids Count Coins contains the following information:

The level to which the game was reviewed

All 6 games on all available difficulties.

App description

Children are presented with 6 games to choose between, each game involves a different way to spend money such as buying items at a shop or giving change to a customer.

Reviewers comments

The six games cover different mathematical areas, and so they might not all be suitable for your child depending on their skill level.

"Pay for Things" covers the addition of coins, to meet the purchase cost of an item.

"Give Change" covers subtraction, where the cost of the item is subtracted from what the customer is paying with, and change must be given by the player.

"Go Shopping" is another addition game, this time selecting several items to match a total price.

"Lemonade Stand" covers multiplication; The customer asks for a certain amount of cups to purchase, and the player must provide the total amount by typing on on-screen keys.

"Piggy Bank" is another addition game, counting up a random selection of coins/notes and typing the total on the on-screen keys.

"Who Has More?" is a comparison game, where the player must decide which creature has more money, and then must type that amount on the on-screen keys.

Every ten correct answers earns the player a star, and the stars contribute to an overall night scene.
