<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 1805283, member: 57364&quot;]I agree with the importance of reference books. But if there would be one thing which would smother a beginning interest in coins in my son, it would be to give him one of the well known numismatic standards. After two pages the verdict would be: BORING!</p><p><br /></p><p>My son (13) does have some ancient coins. But i chose to give him some coins of rulers even he had heard of and are exciting, and fairly easy to research.</p><p>He has got a few Roman emperors, a Justin II Byzantine follis, a (posthumous) Alexander the Great drachm, some early Muslim Dirhams, a Mongol Jital and a Mughal Shah Jahan rupee among others. All these became very much more interesting after he looked up their history himself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
