[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2255964, member: 42773"]I have to side with the posters that suggest a State Quarter album. Don't bother giving children ancient coins - they won't care, and you'll be disappointed. I have four kids of my own and I'm speaking from experience. My oldest three are all teenagers and what they care most about is cars and members of the opposite sex, which is perfectly fine with me.
