Dollars and cents stacked in columns, added and taken away — the arithmetic a till does — twelve to a page. Pounds and euros are the same sheet with a different symbol, one switch away in the builder.

What is on this sheet
Money is a two-place decimal wearing a symbol, which is exactly why it is taught before decimals in most classrooms: a child who cannot say what 0.05 means can usually tell you what five cents is. If the decimals sheet is going badly, this one is often the way back into it.
Every answer prints with both places, so $4.50 is not $4.5. That is a small thing on screen and a real one on paper — writing money with one figure after the point is the commonest mark lost on this topic, and a key that did it too would be teaching the mistake.
The answers were worked out when the problems were, so the key is the same page with the answers drawn in rather than a second attempt at the same questions — there is no way for the two to disagree. The number in the footer is the seed the sheet was built from: it is printed so that the identical sheet can be had again next week, rather than one that merely looks like it.
Change what is on it
This page is one sheet out of a family that can print thousands, and the settings behind it — how many problems, how big the numbers get, how they are laid out, whether there is room to work — are all switches. The builder link at the top of the page carries this sheet’s own settings, so the bench opens on exactly the sheet here rather than on a blank one.
The configuration travels in the address bar rather than on a server, so the link can be bookmarked or sent to somebody as it stands — and what they open is this sheet, down to the seed, rather than another one like it.
The same facts, on screen
