[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3304044, member: 97383"]I don't know any kids that collect coins from circulation today :(. There isn't the incentive to look anymore because there are so few collectible coins in circulation today. Ancient coins appeal to educated people who enjoy history & disaffected collectors of modern coins who can't afford what they like anymore :rage:.
