I remember back in the 70s and 80s during National Coin Week: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...FXsxetK5Y1kT, we used to dip into our jars of extra wheat pennies, Buffalo nickels, old Jeffersons or silver based coinage, and release them into the public. Hopefully so kids (young Numismatists) could collect them.

But now, store managers are savvy and skim the collectible stuff off the top.

I suggest you drop the collectible stuff in the tip jars. Try to include enough for everybody.

Also support, or try to set up collectors clubs, that can include kids. I didn't have a club back in the 60s in my area, but we had magazines, and exchanged letters with each other.

Lend books from your own library to folks in your area.
Rest in Peace

I never loan books. I don't mind not being repaid for a "loan" of cash, but never my books.

I gave the Boy and Girl scouts a bank of 100 coins each. Everyone gets to take turns drawing.

Pulling an Ike out gets jumping up and down. I also include a common VF Peace as the super prize.

Be prepared for hundreds of questions. Surprisingly enough a lot of those questions don't involve value.
