Coin Collecting is FUN!

We've started teaching Skylar that coin collecting is something that can very rewarding and also VERY valuable later on in life.

We started him off by collecting the state quarter through a program called PCS Stamps & Coins.  You sign up on their program and they send you 1-2 panels with everything on the card you could possibly want to know about that particular state, as well as the quarters for that state.  The panels are about $18.00 a month and come with state stamp and the information on the state such as, the state flower, motto and what it's famous for.

The stamps are a great way to get Skylar to appreciate stamp collecting too.  It's a great learning tool and we can't wait for the next panels to come every month.

If committing to a monthly panel through a coin dealer is a bit too much at first, start your kids off with the quarters from our beautiful state parks.  The one pictured below was purchased in Washington at a visitor's center in Kettle Falls.  It is of Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas (my home town) but, you can start your collection at any visitor's center nation-wide.
