Coin Collecting for Kids
|
This selection of books is called "Coin Collecting
for Kids", though it touches upon much more than just filling slots in coin
collecting starter kits. Indeed, one of the most rewarding things about
numismatics is teaching young people various aspects about the hobby.
Conversations can range from the evolution of money throughout the ages, up to
modern day methods of coin making. History is an important topic when
talking about coins, and thus kid coin collecting provides a platform for you to
educate your child about America's past and instill national pride.
Most
important of all, being involved together in the hobby can bring parents and
children closer together, and strengthen generational bonds. Who knows,
perhaps one of your child's favorite memories years from now will be of your
shared excursions to the local coin show. If introducing your kid to the
virtues of coin collecting does nothing more than open up the lines of
communication, then you've accomplished something many other parents are still
desperately in search of.
The books listed below are some of the
best-selling children's books about money (not just coin collecting).
However, some of them would be appropriate for an anyone who is just getting
started with collecting.
When a new "Coin Collecting for Kids" book comes
out, we'll do a quick evaluation based on the author's previous works and
publisher standards to determine if it should added below. If time allows,
a more complete opinion will be posted the
Coin Book Review section. You
