Dummy Coins (Product Code: SLE/MAT/72) is a set of eight play coins used to teach money handling, coin recognition and adding or subtracting amounts in primary maths lessons. Teachers use it for buyer-and-seller role play, and the set spans six denominations from 25 paise to 10 rupees, each coin 2.5 cm across. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as part of its mathematics lab kits.

Dummy coins turn an abstract sum into something a child can hold. In a pretend shop, one learner prices an item, another pays with a mix of coins, and together they work out the change — practising addition and subtraction with real denominations instead of bare numbers. Asking pupils to find different coin combinations for the same amount builds number sense and early problem-solving.
Because each set holds only eight coins, many classrooms plan one set per pair or small group so that every child handles the money. Counting the coins back into their set after each lesson keeps sets complete, and the same coins work later for word problems about spending, saving and change.
Dummy Coins are produced by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this money-teaching set. The sets are made at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and go factory-direct to schools, teacher-training institutes, dealers and importers instead of passing through a trader. For repeat orders or extra coins, ask us — the manufacturer handles them itself. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.
Money lessons usually draw on a few other maths aids for counting and checking totals:

What is included in the Dummy Coins set?
The Dummy Coins set (SLE/MAT/72) contains 8 coins: two 25 paise, two 50 paise, and one each of the 1 rupee, 2 rupee, 5 rupee and 10 rupee denominations. Every coin measures 2.5 cm in diameter, a comfortable size for young hands.
Which classes are Dummy Coins suited to?
Dummy Coins suit early-years and primary classes where children first learn to recognise currency, make up amounts and add or subtract money. Older pupils can reuse the same set for word problems on change and budgeting. As with any small classroom pieces, supervise very young children during use.
Who manufactures the Dummy Coins?
Dummy Coins are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, which is the OEM for this set. Production takes place at the company’s own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and every quotation comes straight from the manufacturer.
Can Dummy Coins be used with dummy currency notes?
Yes. Dummy Coins cover small values up to a 10 rupee coin, so schools often pair them with ScienceLab’s Dummy Currency Notes. Using both lets children act out realistic purchases in which a note is handed over and the change is returned in coins.
How should Dummy Coins be stored between lessons?
Keep each set of Dummy Coins in its own bag or box and count the eight coins back after every lesson so that no group runs short. Wipe the coins with a dry or slightly damp cloth when they need cleaning, and store them away from direct heat.
What should a quotation request for Dummy Coins include?
For a Dummy Coins quotation, state the number of sets (each holds 8 coins), any other maths items for the same order, and the delivery location in India or abroad. Send these details through the ScienceLab contact page or the enquiry cart.
Are Dummy Coins available in bulk for schools and export?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies Dummy Coins in quantities for single classrooms, whole schools, education projects, dealers and importers, in India and international markets. Share your quantity and destination on the contact page and the manufacturer will quote directly.
