I'm not looking for coin to make her independently wealthy. I just see that she has fun playing with Money with Daddy. She doesn't even know what money is really.

This is what I had been leaning towards.

BU foriegn coin for economies that will grow. interesting idea. i think I want to learn about us coins first and grow from there. Maybe as she gets older she will think foreign coin is really cool though!</p><p><br /></p><p>6. I have not had anyone mention Ikes. These seem to be getting rare already, but can still be had for face. Do you think they have a future? Clad or only Silver?</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not intending this to replace a college fund ect. I just thought it would be fun, and thought i would get advise on what type of coin has the most potential.

[QUOTE="model77, post: 1325189, member: 34102"]Sorry to have been away from this tread for a while and thank you for your responses. So far i am concluding the following. 1. don't buy her coin, buy her a house! HAHA, I think I will try to pay off my own house first! I'm not looking for coin to make her independently wealthy. I just see that she has fun playing with Money with Daddy. She doesn't even know what money is really. I thought it would be fun to start a little collection that would be hers and I'm looking for the best coin to do it with. 2. mint sets for each year. sounds like a great idea! 3. pre '82 pennies. This is what I had been leaning towards. When I told my Mom I was starting to collect Junk silver she mentioned how stupid she felt that she did not do it back in the 60's when she could have got them for face. Maybe, just Maybe copper will be the next bullion to pop up. 4. BU rolls each year. Good Idea! 5. BU foriegn coin for economies that will grow. interesting idea. i think I want to learn about us coins first and grow from there. Maybe as she gets older she will think foreign coin is really cool though! 6. I have not had anyone mention Ikes. These seem to be getting rare already, but can still be had for face. Do you think they have a future? Clad or only Silver? I'm not intending this to replace a college fund ect.
