What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing gives inconsistent size descriptions: one passage says bills are 1-1/2 times actual size, another says demonstration pieces are bigger than actual size, and the description says coins are 2 1⁄2 times actual size. The advertised 50-piece count matches the enumerated bill and coin quantities, but the stated overall dimensions are also supplied without clarifying whether they describe the set or packaging. Confirm the size details if they matter for display or storage.
