[QUOTE="Bacchus, post: 55431, member: 759"]You can buy a roll of bisons pretty cheap (except on ebay ;) ) and pass them out to your friends. It might stimulate interest in coin collecting, and it might not. It’s like planting seeds: you plant a few hundred and hope that some of them take root. A few months ago I bought a few rolls of bison nickels, passed out about 40 of them to family and people at work. One of them got interested enough to become a collector. It won’t always work, but this time it did. Even if no one decided to collect, I still had fun seeing the expressions on faces when they saw their first 2005 nickel. For a bit more money, you could package the nickels in Air-Tites or 2x2s first. That way the recipient is less likely to spend it right away.
