<p>[QUOTE="Coinman_Ben, post: 716803, member: 9923"]in that case, you should do well with an HE Harris or a Whitman coin folder since your 5 year old will only be taking coins out of circulation (which you don't really need a folder with all of the dates if your just getting coins out of circulation), so the only advice I have for you is to buy one Warman folder just to see what the quality is like and if you find it's good quality, you can buy more, and if it's not such good quality, you can always find another brand. I'd suggest pricing around first and if there's none other you like, than I guess warman will be the best fit for you. Personally, with those kinds of folders that are that comprehensive, I prefer dansco folders, otherwise, if I just want a cheap folder, I'd rather the series be split up into two or more folders (i.e. one folder for 1959-1982 lincoln cents and another for 1983 to 2008 and a whole seperate folder, if desired, for the 2009 Lincoln cents), especially since someone at that age thinks they're getting more when they have 2-3 folders as opposed to just one with the same date range (and on top of that, each folder won't be quite as heavy when filled all the way as the one folder with 1959-2009 Lincoln cents, so the coins won't bust through the folder as easily due to the weight). That is why I recommend dansco folder over the cheapo folders, it's because with the dansco folder, you can take coins in and out constantly without having to worry about the folder busting a hole. Once you find that your 5 year old really starts to get into coin collecting, I'd suggest that the second coin folder you buy for them be one of the dansco folders because it'll last longer than any of the cheapo folders will (especially since kids like to take the coins in and out of the folders constantly, looking for the absolute best coin for their collection and at the same time, want to see every hole filled, which can be very hard on the cheapo folders)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
