<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2055112, member: 27832&quot;]I was actually thinking something along that line, but with a different slant.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a lot of coins like this -- coins that &quot;look different&quot; or are &quot;shiny&quot; -- that will catch someone&#039;s attention. Collectors call them &quot;damaged&quot; and turn up their noses at them.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if a child (or an adult!) finds one in a handful of change, it might catch his interest. It might lead him to ask someone else about the coin, or to start paying more attention to other coins that they come across. Eventually, he might start collecting. (He or she, of course.)</p><p><br /></p><p>So, don&#039;t think of it as &quot;spending&quot;. Think of it as &quot;sowing new collectors&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
