As a math teacher I agree. Phrasing the question with “money” is ambiguous.
That’s why the important part was showing your work which the student failed to do. Depending on school policy this may be a no-credit or at most half credit answer.
The major flaw with math education is reading and writing. Very little of elementary school is spent reading, writing, and discussing. This problem is fantastic, it forces students to read, write and analyze. Especially since it’s ambiguous.
If a student at that age said “Amy has more coins” and answered Amy prior I would take it.
Alternatively they could go for the formal answer of “Bobby has 4 dimes. A dime is worth 10 pennies. Bobby has 40 pennies worth.”
We forget that math is about reasoning and justification, not just calculation.

30mg edible can get me close to non-verbal some days and just not really hit that hard others.
I have GAD so I think that messes with my perception.
