<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adric22, post: 1608298, member: 38146&quot;]Thanks for all of the suggestions.&nbsp; I was unfamiliar with those 1 Peso coins.. but I have to admit, they sure are ugly.&nbsp; So far the idea I like the best is going with Canadian silver dimes.&nbsp; I hadn&#039;t thought of that, even though I believe I own a few of those somewhere.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also I don&#039;t believe the smaller gram and 1/10 ounce bullion coins are a bad investment as long as they are bought in bulk to save on shipping.&nbsp; And for a while, that is exactly what I was doing.&nbsp; I would buy 10 or 20 at a time. Yes, I realize that each coin has a higher premium over spot.&nbsp; But that only matters if you are selling them to a smelter.&nbsp; If you sell them on eBay, craigslist, etc, then the premium is regained at that point.&nbsp; All of the copper bullion coins are in pretty much the exact same situation right now.&nbsp; They are worth what somebody else is willing to pay, which at the moment is above melt value.</p><p><br /></p><p>An yes, the purpose of this exercise was to teach the kids about investment and inflation.&nbsp; However, it isn&#039;t going so well right now.&nbsp; My 9 year old may or may not grasp the concept.&nbsp; The younger (adopted) child is 6 and definitely doesn&#039;t grasp it.&nbsp; But I believe that in time they will.&nbsp; I think my 9 year old already has about $150 worth of silver.&nbsp; When she gets a bit older hopefully it will make more sense to her.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to look into getting some more Canadian dimes and maybe even quarters.&nbsp; So after they have 3 dimes I could trade them for a quarter or something like that.&nbsp; Hopefully i won&#039;t have to worry about them trying to spend them at the store.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
