<p>[QUOTE="1stSgt22, post: 8411276, member: 116892"]I have a Great Nephew who seems to be interested in coins, so I have been trying to cultivate that interest. Each time he visits he brings a Whittman folder, and we look through some of the rolls I have on hand!! Of course, any roll of that denomination we don't look through immediately goes into his backpack to take home!!! LOL During the last visit I had an idea!!! I know that's a little frightening but here goes!!! I asked his mom if he ever has a "show and tell" in his class. She said he will have this year! I suggested that I could help him gather some basic information about wheat cents and he could do his show and tell about them. She said that would be a great idea, then I thought I have a bunch of wheaties just sitting in a box so I could give him enough for him to give one to each of his classmates. I'm telling this story to suggest we collectors put some extra effort into promoting our great hobby to the youth!! Hope it goes well for him and that it will spark another kid's interest in coins as a hobby!!! Thoughts???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
