Coin Collecting for Kids Review
I purchased this book as a birthday gift for each of my grandsons ages 8 and 11. They loved it and have been saving their money like crazy just so they can put the coins in the book. I thought that after a couple of months the novelty would wear off, but it hasn't.
I originally ordered this book along with a book for the statehood quarters. But when I got the package, I was delightfully surprised to see that this book was so big, and it had spaces for all the state quarters too, in addition to spaces for the new presidential dollars, pennies, coins for the child's birth year, oldest coins, rare coins, and so much more. I returned the other book because everything was already included in Coin Collecting for Kids. It is easily worth double of what I paid for it. It is very educational and instructive, and it makes coin collecting a lot of fun.
After seeing how much the boys love this book, my two granddaughters (ages 5 and 7) want to start coin collecting too, so I'm ordering one for each of them.
Coin Collecting for Kids Overview
A colorful, kid-friendly book to introduce children to a lifelong hobby, Coin Collecting for Kids encourages children to search for, save, and learn all about many different U.S. coins. Take a tour through the mint and save pennies from four different decades while learning about how coins are made. Slots on every page let kids collect birth-year coins, millennium coins, and twentieth-century coins. Lastly, a gatefold spread will accommodate all 50 wildly popular statehood quarters. Organized by release year, each slot lists the state's nickname, motto, flower, and bird.

Great Book for Kids - Sylvia Neely - Michigan
Gave this book for my 8 yr old daughter for Christmas. She loves it! My other daughter who wasn't as interested when I originally go it is also very into and now I have to get another book.
Awesome! - Petra Aakesson - San Diego, CA USA
This book is way better than it looks in the pictures. Both my 5-year old and 10-year old love it. And they learn the states and presidents while collecting all the different coins. I would absolutely recommend this book.
Informational, but a few product flaws - CA/NJ - Wayne, NJ
I bought this book for my 11 year old, who was just starting to collect coins. It covers the basic areas of collecting, but some of the coin slots were too small and wouldn't hold the coins, so they constantly fall out. In the dollar coin section the slots were nowhere near big enough. In the State quarter section it is missing the territorial quarters, such as Guam, Puerto Rico and others. Consequently, any coins that don't fit or stay in the book my son is keeping in a jar and looking for another place to display them.
