<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 274826, member: 4552&quot;]I too agree that you should mention to use Coin Talk. Kids of those ages love the internet so why not have them use it as a learning tool. </p><p>Pending on the area you live I would stress security and a little secrecy if in a not to nice area. For example I&#039;m in the Chicago area and to publicly anounce you have a coin collection is just not smart. Of course in some areas, kids are different and actually don&#039;t steal from each other.</p><p>Don&#039;t know if you have a large amount of Wheat Cents available, but you may want to acquire some. To start them, you could pass out one to each kid as a started and explain how those are not made anymore. Then when something is accomplished in the club by a student, the reward could be another of those Wheat Cents. May not sound like much to an adult, but to some kids it is Gold. </p><p>Of course include the possibilities of who knows what is on a quarter from, say 2003 and can you name the states represented. Again, a penny for your thoughts. </p><p>If you can use a projector with slides, you may want to have some made of different coins from all over the world. Many can be downloaded from web sites and turned into a slide. </p><p>You may want to stress the monitary gains of collecting some coins while young so that when they are as old as you they could be worth a lot of money. </p><p>If any flea markets in the area, check out for a pile of foreign coins for a cheap price. Also, a neat thing to pass out for kids that collect anything. Possibly ask on this forum if anyone has a large amount of some foreign coins for cheap price. </p><p>Kids like to put stamps, stickers, stuff in general in books or albums. Show them some for coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
