<p>[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1897022, member: 30970"]Coin collecting in a general sense is a hobby that requires a good percentage of 2 things: time (including patience) and money. Guess what kids generally don't have a lot of? Time, patience, and money. Between attending schools, jobs, and entering the adolescent phases of their lives, many kids just do not have the resources to become seriously committed to coin collecting. It has almost always been a hobby reserved for the older folks (no offense guys), who are generally more responsible with managing money and have more time and patience for collecting. It has almost always been this way. But what we can do to is give the newer generation a little spark of curiosity into the hobby. Don't try to drag them in all the way...that might just frustrate them and force them to do something they might not be all that interested in, and they'll further distance themselves. You need a small balance of initial curiosity and interest so that younger folks can still express an interest in the hobby, but pursue it on their own time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
