Collecting coins is a wonderful opportunity for a child to gain new knowledge. Studying the origin of each coin can be a good lesson in history or geography. Even a trifle lurking in your wallet or under a sofa cushion deserves your attention. Collecting coins develops in a child such qualities as zeal, economy, desire for order and love of money as such.
5. Start small
All you really need is a little bit of small money and you can start. For a closer look at specific markings on coins, you will also need a magnifying glass.
4. Decide on a storage location
You should probably also think about where you will store your coins. An envelope or jug is perfect for this. There are also special folders and albums with slots for each coin. Their price will be in the region of 300-400 rubles (depending on the size).
3. Decide on the topic of collecting
The best way for a child to start collecting coins is to focus on one thing. Collect only pennies, or rubles, or coins issued before or after a certain year.
2. Tell us about the history of coins
Study the information about the images on the coins in advance. For each coin, you can conduct a whole lesson in geography or history. This will give the child an excellent opportunity to gain new knowledge about the country and the world in which he lives.
1. Give a book about coins
Advanced coin collectors will find books on coins useful. They can be found in the library or any bookstore. Check out the book Collecting Coins for Children. It will help the child to realize that numismatics is not just entertainment, but something more meaningful.
Warnings:
- For very young children, try putting together a light collection, such as a modern walker of a certain denomination. Children will get a sense of satisfaction from quickly collecting the whole “set” and develop self-confidence.
- Do not collect coins with children who do not understand that coins do not go into their mouths. Coins should always be monitored with young children as they pose a choking hazard.
