2p is worth more than 1p because 2 is greater than 1. Two 1p coins have the same value as one 2p coin.

How do I order coins by value in Year 2?

Look at the numbers and arrange coins from the smallest value to the largest, for example 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p.

What is a good way to make 30p with coins?

Start with larger coins, then smaller ones. For 30p, a quick way is 20p + 10p. You could also use 10p + 10p + 10p.
