<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 446924, member: 12159&quot;]There is more than one way to peak a kid&#039;s interest in coin collecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>To take it a step farther, last year I gave out little baggies of coins, $1.00 total, to each trick or treater. Some had Ikes, Sacs, SBA&#039;s, Kennedy&#039;s, etc. I figured the parents will help the little ones count their coins, and maybe the older kids could use an extra dollar. The parents really liked the idea of money instead of junk.</p><p>Yes, I know, if you get hundreds of trickers at your house, then candy might be better for the old pocket book.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also started my grand daughter&#039;s best friend on a Lincoln collection. Her mother says the ten year old loves her collection and takes good care of it. A Whitman album and a couple dozen cents and I might have gotten a child interested in collecting.</p><p>For myself, I like to mentor youngsters with wholesome past times, whether it is art, collecting, sports, or music, or anything else that will keep them busy and off the streets. </p><p>Thanks for all the great replies...</p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
