Hi, just wondering why the notes don't come out when I print? The coins print perfectly.
I'm sorry to hear that one isn't working for you, Jade! You may like to try using the 'print as image' function in Adobe PDF reader. We have an article over at https://support.teachstarter.com/en/articles/75327-resource-printing-issues/ that may assist with the printing of this file. Let me know how you go!
