<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2581618, member: 5233"]Actually, it's kinda funny. My two year old (Owen) lately has been flipping through some of my coin albums (rather aggressively I might add) because he likes to look at the coins. So, I got a variety of random coins (just circulated current coins, dateless Buffalo nickel, Ike, ect.) and put them in 2x2s. I appropriated a denture box from work (because 2x2s fit quite nicely in them) and gave it to him...he was happy as can be and likes to "play" with them regularly.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, the other night I was looking at some of my coins at my desk and he walks up to me and wants to look too. I happened to be looking at my St. Gaudens Double Eagle. I said "Owen, do you want to see a gold coin?" He nodded with a big grin...so I handed him the coin (it's in a slab...so I figured it was safe for him to hold). So, he holds it and looks at it...then looks at me, points at the coin and says "gold coin!" Then, after a brief pause, he says "Owen keep it" and he started to walk off. It was funny...but now I have to keep an eye on the gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
