[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2358739, member: 73165"]I don't know if I'd even try explicitly introducing coins to a 4 year old. I was 9 before I got bit by the collecting bug, and I started by filling the blue Whitman folders for coins then in circulation. Of the suggestions in this thread, I like the idea of inexpensive world coins or a recent proof set. I think a birth year proof set would be a fine start, and it would have a good variety of coins (President dollars, Native American dollar, State quarters, etc.) World coins are fun because you can get things like coins with animals (kids love animals). Mostly, I'd just wait for him to show interest in Daddy's coins. Little boys have a tendency to want to do everything their dads do, so it will probably come somewhat naturally. He may grow out of it, or he might end up a lifelong collector. Who knows? :)[/QUOTE]
