So my 8 year old numismatist asks me if...?

My daughter is 8 and has recently been asking me to take her to the coin shop which is amazing because all she has been saying lately when the mail comes is "Oh great another coin". She's still into dolls and such and has a bunch of those Build a Bears...So anyway... this morning while I was putting on my tie she asks me if they have a Build a Coin at the coin shop...I replied no kiddo, they only have those in China...My wife starts laughing and I said "What's so funny?"....She'd apparently read my latest Coinworld...

    Never to young to start a long term interest. A trip to the coin shop is in order. image

    That's funny... I just picked up some Whitman albums for my 8 and 10 year old girls and they are going to town on the spare change...

    You have a smart little girl there. Good for you for teaching her so well.

    There is a "build a coin" equivalent of sorts. I think a Dansco 7070 fits that bill perfectly!
