Hey, be kind to the old man.....one of those one cent dates is my birth year. Very Happy

I'm collecting the coins for teaching with. Not sure what I'll do yet but am collecting at least the quarters and soon the dollars. I also am trying to got forgien money. I have some from Canada (stupid Canadian Pennies even in California they show up) and some from Russia (my Uncle forgot he had them) and one of each kind from when I was in South Korea. I think I also have some Yen. I think it'll be good for teaching.

rdncktink,
This link at the US Mint website may have some information you can use when teaching.
www.usmint.gov/kids/
You will find that the 50 State Quarter Program and the Presidential Dollar Program are worthwhile classroom topics. The mint has some download material that you can pass out to students.

How many graduates today can name all of the States let alone nameing the Presidents in the order that they served.

Updated, my coin collection has grown cause I found my dads old coin collection in Greece and asked for a few.

Countries in the collection (by order from front to back of the coin book & the currency value I list is the one on the coin not total that I got most I just got one coin of):

Canada (many), East Caribbean States (2x 10 cents), England (50 New Pence, 2x 1 penny and 2 New Pence), United States (many), Netherlands (1 Gulden), Germany (1950 Pfennig & 2 Marks), Finland (10 Pinnia), USSR (1 Ruble), France (2x 1 Franc, 2x 1/2 Franc, 2x 10 centimes, 20 centimes), French Polynesia (10 Franc), Portugal (5$00), Mexico (100 Pesos), Panama (a half dollar), Trinidad and Tobago (1 Cent), Peru (25 Centavos), Jamaica (10 Cents), Greece (2 Drachma's), Japan (100 yen), and finally Italy (.5 Lyra).

Most common coin in my coin collection must be simply Canadian Quarters, they made a bunch of neat ones the last few years so I collected them into my pocket slowly.

I was President of the Nebraska Numismatic Association for a couple of years and have had interest in collecting coins since I was about 7 years old. What I am getting at is I have a friend who runs a shop and might be interested in your deal. Please send him an email, and reference my name, Cliff Reed in Brady, Ne., and shoot your deal to him. That is all I can do for you at this time.
