<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Peter T Davis, post: 423758, member: 1&quot;]Hehe, you&#039;ve got to try harder to get something past him.&nbsp; I think the best you can do is just spend time with him doing related activities.&nbsp; Some good suggestions there from others, some more practical than others.&nbsp; In the end, you can&#039;t force him to be interested though.&nbsp; I think by 7th grade, what his peers are doing is going to influence him more than a parent can.&nbsp; When my 1st grade son sees some of my coins, he&#039;s more interested in knowing how many of them it would take to buy some Pokemon cards than the history of the coins or any of the finer points.&nbsp; He did take an interest in foreign coins during our recent vacation.&nbsp; We were in Poland and Spain for a visit and we gave him the pocket change and he enjoyed looking at them and sorting them by type and counting up how much of each currency he had accumulated.&nbsp; If your boy isn&#039;t impressed by something 100 years old, maybe try the foreign coin approach.&nbsp; And, the added benefit there is that it&#039;s a whole lot cheaper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
