Foundations of Coin Collecting Folder

Book excerpt: Coin folders have a long, distinguished legacy as being most people's first exposure to the coin collecting hobby. As part of the Foundations of Coin Collecting package, this folder contains a selection of cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars that are both interesting and able to be found in circulation. The folder not only provides the new collector with the basics of U.S. Mint and coin history, it also points them in the right direction to begin a successful collection. This folder's background information and historical anecdotes take an educational approach to coin collecting. It is a logical point of entry for parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles looking to engage children in a healthy educational hobby.
