[QUOTE="snip, post: 1137398, member: 29958"]Hey everyone, thanks for the responses! Yes, that's what I meant by Hawaii dime and I've had it for almost 20 yrs and got it cheap. Older people in Hawaii used to turn up now and again with the old Hawaii coinage (and probably still do). I agree that what I am doing is pricey - I want this to be saved by the family and I don't want to just pass on the 50 state quarters. I am just trying to find that middle ground where I'm giving them something very nice but not over the top. I don't think passing on a set of coins worth a few thousand that are collected over a lifetime to be that extravagant. OH! And I certaintly don't intend to give these to my children now or anytime remotely soon. I would give the sets to them once they are adults. I just wanted to put these together now before other major expenses started popping up as they got older like college (although that's a long ways away). I guess a better way of putting this is that I am selecting coins from my collection (and adding to my collection) and putting them into a format that I can easily pass on to them. The coins I have listed are ones that I already have that I thought would be suitable for this.[/QUOTE]
