Awesome introduction. You sound like a very loving and attentive father--one of the most important roles/jobs in the universe.

Welcome to CCF.

If you want your children to appreciate what you leave them someday, you need to get them interested in coin collecting. Otherwise, they could just look upon it as something they have to "liquidate". Now, some children that inherit coins will have a sentimental attachment to the collection, but then that does not spend well at the store.

If they are educated as to what coins are worth, that will be better for them no matter what they decide to do with the collection when the time comes.

My children (grown now) are not interested in collecting coins. I have given a lot of thought into whether I should just sell my collection, or leave it to them to dispose of or keep. I probably should discuss this with them, since I doubt they have any idea what I have in my collection.

I do keep good records of what each coin costs, and the more valuable ones have an index card describing why the coin is interesting, rare, collectible, unique, providence, etc.

Try to post pictures in sections relative to what is in the image, ie The world coin sections, or the US coin sections, or the token section, etc.
