What Would You Do With This Half Penny (Or Any Other Coin You No Longer Want)?

I only bought it for the sole purpose of making some random child happy for a little while. And maybe inspire he or she to become a coin collector. Of course, now days it's best not to approach or interact with any child you don't know.

I left it in the treehouse/playground at the Audubon Center at about eye-level for a six-year old. Since the parents at this particular locale would probably insist that a child take it to the lost and found, I put a sticker on it that said, "If you find this you can keep it." It was still there 24 hours later but I'm sure it will be gone soon.

I will probably go back to the local coin store next week and buy a handful of cool looking coins out of the junk box just to leave laying around to inspire new coin collectors. Who wants to join me in this campaign?

just a thought:

maybe find where there's a child (or any number of children) who won't get much of a Christmas. I'm sure there are organizations you could contact for that.
