<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ahearn, post: 657649, member: 18211&quot;]Kids today have too many other distractions to focus on coin collecting, which to many is &quot;lame.&quot; When I was a kid, it was a big deal to find a coin from England or China. Now, my kids and grandkids look at my &quot;pocket change&quot; from international travels with complete disinterest. Even the thrill of owning a rare error coin or low-mintage coin has disappeared with the new generations. Auction buyers with deep pockets have driven up prices so that ordinary collectors are often shut out. The presidential dollars and state quarters program may create a few long-term collectors but the parents and grandparents are doing most of the buying (as I am doing for my grandkids).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
