Coin Collecting Select For Kids

It depends on the age the mentality of the specific kid does he have other interetes. like say sports you can collect based on a theme I do believe american coins are a good one cheap whitman folders with the lincolns and jeffersons out of pocket change see if it takes teh if it does great if it doesn't you have only spent pocket change TOAST mentione State Quarters this is also good

I will agree with some of the other I think a great starter set for anyone is the State Quarter. Most are easy to find and you learn in the process. I bought on for my 7 year old nefew and he likes his, I bought him a Map not a folder though. Also I think lincond cents are a good one since they are cheep for kids to collect and all you have ot do is know you r numbers

There is a nice beginner set that the US mint sells

To highlight the coin manufacturing process, this set includes a one-cent planchet, a pair of circulating one-cent coins, a pair of satin-finish uncirculated dimes and a proof-condition half-dollar. This set illustrates many features and finishes found throughout our Nation's coinage. The booklet also briefly discusses the history, design and manufacturing processes that have contributed to more than two centuries of American coinage.
