<p>[QUOTE="omahaorange, post: 2304586, member: 28199"]I can tell you what I do with mine. One of my employees is a single mom with three kids. One (the youngest) has Asperger's. He's not a bad kid, but can be a handful. One thing I noticed is he's really into Legos, so much so that he is virtually invisible when building things. When he concentrates on something, he's well-behaved. Found out he also likes coins. So I got him Memorial Cent albums and a few rolls to search. She said he was ecstatic. So i also started to bag up some of my extra foreign coins for him to search through. He stays occupied for hours with these.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, as others suggested, find someone like this, or a young one showing even a mild interest in collecting, to see if you can fan that fire. Or, find a scout troop and give them to those kids. See if your local school district would be interested in them, would go great with geography or history lessons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
