[QUOTE="littlehugger, post: 3413825, member: 58633"]Type sets are great! You can start by making a trip to the bank, and getting a couple rolls of everything, then cherry pick a good example of all the common stuff, for face value. Its a way to involve the kids too. There is a whole area of fascinating coins in this genre. From half cents to 20 cents to $2 1/2 pieces. Heck, kids nowadays have probably never seen a $2 bill, Kennedy half, or ever a silver coin. They think the old copper cents are funny looking. Can you imagine seeing your first silver dollar? Types are fun, even when you get into the rarer ones. Just expensive.[/QUOTE]
