Book Reviews of Coin Collecting for Kids
Book Review: An obsession for my 3-year-old -- and a helpful tip for parents
Summary: 5 Stars
My son, who is almost 4, has been obsessed with this book for months. I keep expecting him to get tired of it, but the challenge of filling all the slots keeps him interested. He marches right up to the cash register when we go to a store and asks if they have any Presidential dollars! The only downside is that some of the coins, like the Eisenhower dollar, the Kennedy half-dollar, the Mercury dime, etc., are either long out of circulation or so rare that you can rule out finding one in your pocket change. Expect to hit Ebay if you want to fill this book.
And here's my tip -- some of the coin slots are a little too tight, but you can smush the coins in. But some of them are too loose, and that means the coins fall out when you turn the page. I didn't want to glue the coins in, so I figured out a way to make them fit -- put a piece of a folded tissue in the slot, and allow it to stick out over about a third of the edge of the slot. Put the coin in. That little extra filler makes the coin fit tightly. Some of the tissue will still be sticking up, but it's a simple matter to tear it off, and then it looks perfect. Wish someone had told me this tip when I got the book, but I hope at least it helps someone reading this review!
Minor flaws aside, I really highly recommend this book to any parent whose kid is the least bit interested in coins. It's wonderful to see your child get jumping-up-and-down excited over finding a new state quarter or presidential dollar!
