I went to my wife's second grade class yesterday to speak to them about world coins as they were studying countries of the world. I showed them a country from every letter of the alphabet except for X. Showed them many Canadian coins, then passed out a "junkbox" darkside coin to each one at the end. They loved it. I was surprised at how many had one or more world coins. One kid had about 5 that he brought to show me.
So many coins, so little money!

    Great thing you did, Bruce!! It remind me, that when I was 10 years old I brought some old Russian coins (18 cent.) at my lesson on history at school , because teacher ask me to do that . All pupils very really happy to saw these pieces, and teacher thanked me . After that , I even opened small group of coin lovers at my class...

    NJMark1 you are welcome here!!!
