Coin Collecting for Children
If you are an avid coin collector looking to introduce the hobby to your children or grandchildren, or have little ones simply intrigued by the world of coins, here are our tips and ideas to get started.
People choose to collect coins in many ways: by denomination, metal, or year, to name a few. One way to get your children into coin collecting is introducing coins that feature well-known characters. There are plenty of coins featuring popular children’s characters to choose from, such as Mary Poppins, Harry Potter and The Gruffalo’s Child.
CHILDHOOD CHARACTER COLLECTIONS
Coins in Change and Brilliant Uncirculated Coins
To spark a child’s interest in the new world of coin collecting, there many designs in circulation that they can keep an eye out for such as the Beatrix Potter Collection and London 2012 50ps. If you can’t wait to see them in your change, why not start with our Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) collection? BU coins are struck twice to a higher standard than circulating coins. Like Proof coins, the dies used to strike them coins are polished and finished by hand.
History and Art
We believe that the coins we produce are miniature pieces of art, with years of history and craftsmanship etched into each tiny circumference. The evolution of design over the years can provide a great opportunity for storytelling, and captivating imaginations whilst providing an educational lesson in history and art. Utilising these stories through coins can encourage children to both understand and appreciate history.
