Coin Collecting for Kids

Rating:
Summary: Good but not great
Review: From a mom's point of view, it would have been nice to make a coin book where you can get the coins in the book without using a hammer and glue. The maker did provide a nice book in a chronological linear fashion and my children and I did enjoy the trivia and facts. This book holds a lot of different coins from easy to rare.

From a child's point of view (Jayde)! On the time lines it would have been nice if they would have the dates in slots so that I would know which ones to look for.

Summary: our very favorite collection book
Review: Perfect for that first-collection kiddo. It's been very popular with my first graders and with several kids lucky enough to get it as a present. Very sturdy, too, a big plus. But beware, it turns the kids into coin fanatics! Any new state quarters elicit huge excitement and many happy scenes in stores, etc.

Summary: get 'em hooked on coins
Review: This book has been wonderful for our 7 year old daughter. In easy to understand terms, she has learned how coins are made, what coins used to be made of and why they have changed, and has seen what coins used to look like. There are slots to collect just about every type of coin that the U.S. has made.

It is a fun book! She has learned quite a bit of history through this book. We are using it as our history book this year, as we are home educators. She has come closer to her great-grandfather because he used to be an avid coin collector. He is happy to help her out in any way that he can!

I rate this book at 4 stars because of 1 page. "The Millenium Money Tree" page. It's for the year 2000, and the new millenium does not begin until 2001.

Summary: Great book!
Review: This is the perfect beginner start-up book. I got it for my son at six and we use it pretty much every week; it's been a wonderful sharing experience. As far as value goes, we got it at [another website], so it was surely a bargain! Really, we love it and it would be a great value at any price.
