I started at about 7 so you don't have long to go. Teach him where to look on coins and go through change. Pick up an abum for cents and nickels for him and quarters, halves and dollars for you. Maybe pick up a redbook to show him how to read about coins he doesn't see everyday.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tell him about your grandmother and how she collected coins too.
