[QUOTE="Garlicus, post: 3222677, member: 73190"]On the cheap, you and she can pull State or America the Beautiful quarters out of pocket change. Some of the older ones may not be in the best of shape, but it is a good, low cost introduction to the hobby. Also, there is no reason why you can't work on a couple of different types of collections. Maybe the circulated coins that I suggested and the more expensive ones for special occasions, trips to the local coin shop (LCS) or coin shows. I also read that the US Mint is starting a program next year, geared towards young collectors. Something I do for my 2 nephews (3 & 9) who aren't into coins (yet?), is give them a current year Silver Eagle for their birthday, and an older one for Christmas (or any holiday you may celebrate).
