Collecting Circulating Coins

Currently I am buying rolls of dimes. I am putting together a 1965-present set for my two nephews. I find all of the the dimes to complete two sets and then mix them up with a number of others to let them search the bag and find the sets on their own. They like it and it doesn't cost much. Hopefully they will get interested in coins when they get older. There are always a few that are hard to find in any descent condition so sometimes I have to search a lot longer that one would think.

jcook54- great idea. I've done the same with a godson in Peru. Between what I pulled from my annual coin sort (all the change I accumulated over the year) and what I have on hand, I put together a ~'40 - present Lincoln Cent collection with a dozen or so extra wheaties in for fun. I gave it in a baggie along with a Whitman book (with the '82s already in place).
