Interesting do many people show up at these mint events? If so it may mean coin collecting isn't in demise if there's plenty of interest in the exchange. I can't see anyone I'm friends with willing to drive half an hr into a crowded place. This is one way the mint has of growing the collector population. I got more serious with the Olympic quarters, of course prior I'd pull the different Commemeratives because they were cool & different. At that point I wouldn't call myself a collect, as they just sat in a drawer. These coins are good to get people and kids interested in the hobby. Even to getting kids to save.

I only saw a handful of people. The mint brings quite a few employees (mostly "young ladies in black"), whose job is to proactively convince passerby to exchange their coins -- almost like handing out flyers; works most of the time.
