<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2958607, member: 84179&quot;]Bummer.&nbsp; When I was a kid (many years ago), my non-collecting parents tolerated my hobby and helped me to get rolls to search and occasionally took me to the local coin shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you get $$ as a gift for your birthday or Christmas, you could use that to open an account at a nearby bank (ride your bike if it&#039;s too far to walk).&nbsp; You could also get out and shovel snow or cut grass to make some $$ (this used to be the primary source of my coin budget).&nbsp; Also, if you have a local coin club, see if your parents will take you or drop you off at the monthly meetings.&nbsp; Coin clubs love young numismatists, plus you&#039;ll learn a heck of lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Short of that, keep trying to read as much as you can about coins.&nbsp; My Uncle showed me his small collection when I was 6 and I was hooked.&nbsp; I&#039;ve stayed with it for almost 50 years and I could never put a value on what I&#039;ve learned about history over the years.&nbsp; It &#039;s priceless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best of luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
