Gonna hand out these baggies for Halloween instead of sugar packets. Middle coin will be some random foreign thing (I have a giant stash of these) .. who knows, might spark a new interest in the hobby!  |

Excellent idea. Hopefully you won't be picking them out of your bushes  |

@TimNH, the kids can benefit more from these than a sugar packet. That is a great idea.
I hope that it is appreciated at least as much as dentists giving out toothbrushes.

I will try that as well. Only problem is I left all my cheap USA coins in Texas so guess they will be gettin German States instead of sugar.

Nice but only for certain age group . you don't want to give them out to kids under say , 7 . I would put them in all white envelopes ,they will open the bags when they get home ( Inquisitive about the weight ). Still great idea .  |

Thanks all! Yea I don't get many kids down my remote drive so won't cost a bundle. Think it will be a fun diversion. Quote:

Kids these days are so hyped up on candy and expecting a treat may not appreciate these as much as we would hope. You might try giving these coin packets along with, say individual bags of pretzels or chips. I agree this is a good idea, but just not sure kids will appreciate the substitution. But, an A for effort!  |

From past experiences I'd say most kids will either throw away or just refuse to take those.

I wish my kid was in your hood. I've been showing her random coins for a while now so she'd appreciate them.

I'm not so sure how this will go over. The lack of collector interest in the young is not due to a lack of exposure, but due to a real lack of interest. I have gotten good feedback when giving away Pokemon cards for Halloween instead of candy, but I've never tried coins.

Kids still like money, I hope. Worst case they try to spend it?  |
