<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 183041, member: 4552&quot;]There are just tons of things to do. For instance try searching the web for coin shows in your state and area. Usually works if you type in coin shows and your state. Take her to a few if possible. Next I have to agree with acanthite about the Jefferson Nickels. However, pending how much money you want to try ask at a few banks for bags of them. I used to be able to buy a bag of Nickels for $100 or was it $200. Can&#039;t remember, and a bag of cents for $50. That could keep her busy for a long time. If she is able to use a computer, and all kids can, show her the coppercoins web site. You may want to even buy her one of the books on Lincoln Cents. It is loaded with info on cents. Also, at the banks buy rolls of quarters, halves and always ask for the older large dollar coins (Ike) dollars. Now watch for this. Some banks&nbsp; charge to bring in coins or charge if the amount of coins is above a certain amount. The trick is to open accounts in numerous banks. Get the coins from one and take them to a differnt one when your done and deposit them into your account there. They never charge for coin counting if you put them into your account. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Now as for the folders. If she shows real interest you may want to start looking into Albums where you can see both sides of the coins. They are really a lot more expensive but will protect the coins better and you can see both sides of the coins. Check out the Whitman web site for information. They are even cheaper at many dealers than at the Whitman web site. Don&#039;t forget to buy her a few magnifying glasses. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Back to the folders. If you&#039;ll notice the backs of the slots in most folders look shinny. That is usually glue from the&nbsp; process of putting the slotted piece down on the back piece. If this glue gets on the coins, some day in the future she will take the coins out and find the backs all messed up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
