<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Briguy, post: 1725462, member: 47238&quot;]We do need &quot;young&quot; collectors... It&#039;s the future of the hobby, so I say that with confidence. I believe that coin collecting isn&#039;t in any danger of going away though. I teach 2nd grade and when I do talk about coins... kids are interested. I think it&#039;s their age as the desire to learn is a very natural one for an 8 year old. Kids are expected to learn how to add up coins as 2nd graders, so that gives me an opportunity to talk about coins a little bit. My class was really interested about the Kennedy Half Dollar in particular. They hardly ever see them in circulation, but I had them use the half dollars in adding up change with other coin combinations. I have had a few kids express interest in collecting, so we&#039;ll see what the future holds. When I was a kid my logic was this... &quot;Why collect stickers when they really aren&#039;t worth anything in the long term?&quot; The next logical solution to collecting something was therefore coins! I guess you could say that I was in it for the money and I still am.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
