Introduced, yes. Forced, no. I honestly can't think of a single reason as to why every kid shouldn't at least get to know that coins exist as a hobby.

I think the best way of encouraging someone to get into coin collecting would be to encourage the value aspect. Buying coins made of PM can be a great way of saving money and gold and silver always looks pretty. Yeah, I know the value fluctuates but gold and silver will always be better than the pieces of junk in circulation.

For kids I wonder if the value aspect is too much for them to handle. Focusing on the silver or gold prices and buying PM is an easy way to spend a lot of money fast. If a kid has a collection of nickels and dimes and does something stupid with it he has cost himself a relatively small amount of money. Kids and high dollar amounts are not a good mix at least until the teen years when you've taught them how to be responsible.
