I think the most important thing is to plan the seed by showing interest in it yourself and trying to position the hobby in an interesting way. Even if it doesn't take at an earlier age, once your kids are adults and start getting some disposable income - coin collecting will be there as an option. This is what happened to me. When I was younger, my brother was a collector and I would often look through his albums and listen to his stories. It wasn't something that I wanted to do at the time, being a kid and having fun with friends, but when I got a decent job and started to look for a hobby - coin collecting was one of the first things that came to mind.
Beautiful and touching pictures, Cathy! I wish I had such reference materials (only had my brother's Red Book) at the age of 6. Plus a supportive mother!
