<p>[QUOTE="David Allen, post: 2368746, member: 74249"]I went to a coin show last weekend here in Phoenix and I was surprised at the lengths the host club went to to get kids interested in coin collecting! There was a kind of treasure hunt they set them one, and throughout the treasure hunt they picked up a book, a loupe, a slabbed penny, even exonumia and a few other pieces. It was really amazing. I want to give a shout-out to the club that put it on (I gather we are not supposed to give specific info on this forum about clubs, shops or people). If you're from this club you will know who you are. Want to say thank you as well. Because, what this club did to get kids interested worked almost too well. My boys haven't stopped talking and trading with each other since the weekend. Now it is up to me to keep them interested. It was a first show for all of us. I went with 2 of my boys Saturday for only an hour and went back the Sunday with my wife and another son that had been with her Saturday. I also brought a kid who had a sleep over with us. We all had a great time! It was fun dealing for coins and seeing what was out there. I'm looking forward to the next one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
