[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 25586287, member: 90692"]I recommend getting him a roll of 40 quarters to start off with. Take him with you to the bank and show him how a transaction is made for the roll. These will be circulated coins so he will need 2x2 cardboard flips for quarters, a stapler and 20-pocket pages to put the coins in. You can find these online as well as a good 10-12 power loupe. You can get an inexpensive binder at WalMart. A small pair of needle-nose pliers will help to flatten staples for the flips. Go through the first roll with him and show him how to put the first couple coins in the flips and how to label them. Then….cut him loose and answer any questions that come up. Any questions you can’t answer?…well, that’s what we are here for. Good luck and let us know how you get on….imo…Spark[/QUOTE]
