<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 423830, member: 4552&quot;]I&#039;ll go along with they either will or won&#039;t become a coin collector. There is so much outside your world that demands so much of childred these days that many hobbies that require just sitting around looking at something that does nothing is just not practical in this day and age. Many, many hobbies have or are slowing dieing due to they do nothing. Stamps, coins, baseball/football cards, Beanie Babies, etc just sit there and kids today have access to computer games, computer talk sessions, emails, hand held games and phones. Amost any kid today has to have a cell phone by the time they are able to walk it seams. You can see kids at or near a high school walking around with a cell phone in their ear. </p><p>How can something like coin collecting reallly interest kids today? Some do and are now called nerds. </p><p>Every year for many years I order proof and uncirc sets from the Mint. Also, many Red Books. I used to give away about 15 or more each year hoping to inspire some younger ones to start collecting. Some have actually asked me to stop that since they have no interest in coins at all. A few others told me they all just get put into a box somewhere and have to find that box each year for something of no interest. I asked my son what he would do if something happened to me with all my coins. His answer was for me to start getting rid of all those now. He doesn&#039;t want anything to do with them. He carries no change at all anymore and relies on credit cards only. Like he told me coins and currency are about to vanish anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
