<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamor1960, post: 8266522, member: 114242&quot;]I&#039;ve been giving all my nephews, nieces and cousins coins for gifts for about 5 years now. So far, I&#039;ve had one really catch and decide he wants to collect foreign coins. His sister asked why I kept giving her coins even though I knew she wasn&#039;t really interested. My response was that some day she would, probably, have kids herself and not only would they be something that she could pass on to them, but she would have a story about Uncle Jim (me) Her reaction was, &quot;oh, I never thought about that, please don&#039;t stop&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I also have an &quot;adopted&quot; nephew who, when his mom comes home from anything that my wife and I are involved with also, asks if &quot;Uncle Jim&quot; sent him any coins!</p><p>These pictures are of some of my cousins (8, 6 and almost 3) I asked their mom (who is their home school teacher) if she thought they would be interested.&nbsp; I recently got to meet them for the 1st time and made notebooks with one coin from the 20th and 21st (thus far) centuries, plus all kinds of collecting info, along with 2 Lincoln cents folders. I sent the little one a notebook (for his mom to keep up with) plus a small box with several foreign coins to &quot;play&quot; with. His brother&#039;s birthdays are in the next few weeks, so I sent them both boxes with foreign coins also. Their moms said that they had a blast looking through them and figuring out what countries they are from. I am hoping that, at least one of them catches the bug!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]1458591[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1458592[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1458593[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1458594[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
