<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1396571, member: 23626&quot;]I&#039;m not familiar with your coinage. But basically, get a folder for some small circulated change set. Then buy a big lot of that change. Set him up building his OWN collection. Your son will learn so much from this, more than number (date) recognition. He can learn to sort them into groups of the same date and choose the best coin for his set. The responsibility of putting his coins away. I mean they are his, so he should learn that pretty quickly. Let him handle the coins. His small motor skills are still developing, so he is gonna make mistakes.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you cannot find a book for the set you want to start him on. Get a 3 ring binder and a few vinyl pages for holding the 2x2 flips. Then (I use a dymo label maker) label each flip and put it in the page. In short, you have created your own display for whatever set you have chosen. Get your son to help do it. Maybe start out with a few flips marked and have him add as he finds coins you don;t have the flips marked for. You will have to help him of course. But what better way to spend some time together participating in a project ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just remember, let him do everything he wants to on his set. That includes marking the flips, whatever. It&#039;s HIS. You help when asked but let him have room to learn on his own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
