<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1481836, member: 10103&quot;]I think that the prospect of finding something valuable has always been a &#039;hook&#039; in getting young people into coin collecting.&nbsp; The real problem that emerges is sustainability.......there must be something to keep folks hooked long after the prospect of finding valuable coins in your pocket change wears off.&nbsp; I believe the young person who begins to collect needs to explore other areas within the hobby in order to stay interested.&nbsp; If interest within the hobby is not cultivated, the passion for collecting soon withers and dies. TC mentioned the State Quarter program, in his above post, as being an introduction to the hobby for many young people.&nbsp; It was, and still is, an affordable way to get into coin collecting, but unless the participant develops a keen sense of where to go after completing that collection they may fall to the wayside.&nbsp; That &#039;sense&#039;, feeling or passion must come from within the individual......you can&#039;t infuse it.&nbsp; There is no &#039;app&#039; for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
