Coin collecting quarters books can help kids learn about money and history. Kids might also enjoy reading about how to find valuable pennies in loose change. Other fun coin collecting activities include visiting a local or national coin show and writing an article for a newspaper, magazine or website about their findings.
The chances of finding a rare or valuable coin in a roll of coins are slim, but for those who do luck out, the reward can be great. Some people have even turned their hobby into a profitable business by selling coins online. To get started, have your child assemble a set of coins from all over the world that represent the United States as well as other countries they’ve visited. They can then present their findings to the class for extra credit.
A popular hobby among collectors is collecting state quarters. If your child is interested in this, try Wizard’s new “Adventures Across the States: Collecting State Quarters.” This book is an excellent educational tool and a fun way for kids to explore America’s history.
Many people also like to keep track of their coin collections with a journal or ledger. One example is a “Coin Collector Inventory Log,” which allows you to record:Page NumberDateQuantityItem DetailsDescription/ Mint/ GradeSourcePurchase Date & Price
