<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TopcatCoin, post: 1481807, member: 22746&quot;]I hate to say this Detecto but coin collecting is a rapidly greying hobby.&nbsp; We have our exceptions here on CT and that is great to see.&nbsp; However, I do not see many young people interested in coins.&nbsp; I have coached baseball, basketball and football in my spare time for years.&nbsp; I also mentor a lot of kids through volunteering with youth groups.&nbsp; I can tell you that coin collecting among young people is a rarity.&nbsp; The State Quarters introduced some young people to coinage but this seems to have faded away.&nbsp; I can tell you that video games are huge!&nbsp; Society has significantly changed.&nbsp; Technology has dramatically changed.&nbsp; History, nostalgia, and appreciating coins as a work of art do not seem to be a priority among young people.&nbsp; Whether this will change over time, who knows?&nbsp; Perhaps when all of us sell or give our collections to family someday, there will be a resurgence but I doubt it.&nbsp; So, to answer your question: Yes, we do need more younger collectors.&nbsp; However, I do not see this happening in any great number.&nbsp; TC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
