Opinions on when to stop giving your children bday gifts?

My oldest daughter is now 19 y.o. and has started college. For the last 15 years, I have always given her and her younger sister $100 for their bdays. Should I continue to give her the bday gift? I want her to learn the value of money. She still doesn't seem to know how to save.

On one hand, I feel I should give her the expected (I know she will expect it) $100, but on the other hand, I want her to realize that she is an adult and can't expect daddy to keep doing this year after year. I have paid the last 16 years of child support for her.

What do you guys think?
