You may have seen these where you live.

I put this old Whitman folder with 3 circulated cents (one from the 40's, 50's and one from the 60's) in this Little Free Library Box on the other side of town.... With the hopes; some little kid will discover it and get bitten by the coin collecting bug. I added a small note, challenging the finder to complete the folder.
EDIT: The last date in this folder was 1968-S,

    I think that it a very good idea and worth copying.

    Now anyone with access to these, go to it!

    Great idea. I saw one of those libraries recently. Now if I can just remember where.

    Wow, what a wonderful idea. I've never seen one of those little libraries.

    I have one of those across the street from me. May try it too with some of the books that I started out with a few years back. Great idea!

    Cool idea. I did something similar one time, but in a Waldens Book store. I slipped a couple Kennedy halves in a Kennedy album and put it back on the shelf. I had a bunch in my pocket after doing some roll searching. I remember finding a bunch of silver and feeling generous with the leftovers

    Very cool idea! I have two of these in my neighborhood. I can actually look out my window and see one from my desk. I’ll have to see how f I can find some cheap albums to put in.

    We have three (that I know of) in my little village... I have looked in one of them... I have set aside some books to place in one or more... Now to get out and do it!! ;) The coin albums are an interesting idea. If I see one, I will add some coins and put it back. (I always have change in my pocket). Cheers, RickO
