[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1640231, member: 18157"]In 2011, a good friend at work had a seven (7) year old grandson (Jake) that was coming for a month long visit in the summer. His daughter lives in San Diego and her husband was going through an Air Marshall training course in the summer so she decided to bring her son out to visit with Grandma and Grandpa for a month. I noticed that folks at work would throw away their pennies in the cafeteria so I went to the local coin store and bought the "Harris" Lincoln cent folder (1975-Present). I put it on top of my cubical flipper and told everyone it was for Dave's grandson...folks had it filled in about a week! I went back to the coin store and bought the 1941 - 1974 folder and that one nearly filled, too. Everyone really had a great time looking through their coin jars and filling/upgrading the folders. Dave told us that he gave Jake the coins one evening...loose, in a bag. Jake had a ball "discovering" the dates and putting them back into the folders. That's pretty much how I got started collecting coins, too. I can't imagine that going away.[/QUOTE]
