Explanation
In Egypt we use pounds (LE). Coins are small and round. Bills are paper money. A coin can be one pound. Bills can be five, ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred or two hundred pounds. To count to 100 we can jump in tens. Start at ten, add ten each time, and stop when you reach a hundred (ten tens).

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty. Now go on: sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, a hundred.
