[QUOTE="Rono, post: 659718, member: 6492"]Howdy, Congratulations and thanks. I rec'd mine about 50 years ago on my way to Eagle Scout. BTW, my 3rd grade teacher starter us collecting a year set of cents. Back then you could still find an occasional Indian Head. In addition to all the wonderful suggestions I'd see if I could actually coop the local coin dealer. By this I mean giving you a discount on tri-fold albums for the boys. It's to his/her benefit if you can get these kids collecting as they will increase his/her business. I'd go with the quarters because all the business strikes can be found in change. Heading to the bank with $20 for a couple of rolls to search and then going back and doing it again. Also, bring in the historical aspect of collecting. One way would be for you to put together a type set of 1910 coins as this was the year the Scouts were formed in this country. Indeed, the anniversary commem is coming out next year. Just some thoughts. Good luck, rono[/QUOTE]
