…always wanted to tie coins onto helium balloons. Of course I’d have to be cautious , in case the EPA were to fine me for cloud seeding with copper , zinc, nickel and silver.
It’s just a crazy thought. I like your idea and hope it inspired someone. We have no boxes like that. Just Goodwill and Salvation Army. Yours is good will. Kudos.
I sure wish I had an album when I was young and looking through my cent collection...I just used to put them in a line in chronological order, no Redbook either, all I knew was wheaties were cool 'cuz they were the older ones!
I think this was a great idea and hope it sparked a youngster's imagination...

Make one and install it in a common area, neighborhood or roadside where people would have access to it.

Keep your cool, no matter what. I'm thinking of an antiques dealer who told me he warned a telemarketer trying to sell coin product to his father: "One of us is probably going to end up in the hospital, the other in a jail." Anger and other unproductive emotions are often a problem in this hobby with significant stakes.

A partially filled Lincoln memorial or Jefferson Nickel folder would be good - I would place a post-it note saying “kids only please”
Somebody will come up with the bright idea of leaving a "Red Book" next to a CoinStar change machine.
