    Last night I picked up a box of halves at a bank I happened to stop at and when I got home my 13 month old daughter was VERY interested in what Daddy had :) So I decided to let her learn how to sort halves.

    Breaking open the box:

    The taste test :eek:

    Lots of fun! But it appears that I will have to teach that eating/chewing on coins is not the best way to preserve them for future generations. :D

    Keep it up.

    My 9 year old daughter knows more about error coins than my wife. She even knows I have the speared bison and my wife doesn't.

    I bought her a 1900 off center indianhead cent with a hole in it that she can wear as a necklace.

    Thanks you all for your kind words, she definately gets her "cuteness" from her mother! :)

    I have no doubt that she will one day enjoy collecting the coins herself instead of just chewing on them ;)

    I thought the pics were cute and I'm glad that you all enjoyed them.

    Feed it well

    Also having daughters I enjoyed your post.
    Now some advice for When she gets older

    Bring to life your avatar - your daughter is going to be a knock out and you will need that mean avatar + a cave troll to protect her.

    Yup- must have gotten her cutes from Mum.

    hmmm, let me look around on my hard drive and see if I can find them. The free picture hosting site I was using "upgraded' to a pay site and I didn't "upgrade" with them so they must have deleted the pics (a risk of using a free service I suppose). The pics were rather cute, if I do say so myself.
