This is one that's on my list. If I can only find one at a decent price.

My daughter has hundreds of dollars in her piggy bank and she loves my silver so we finally convinced the wife to let her spend some of her money on silver. She’s 5 I’m a proud papa. She’s had her first coin since she was born though.

Love seeing parents teach their kids about investing and staking!

I like this one, too, and have two. I look forward to the next cultural variants coming soon.

I hear it's going to be the Statue of Liberty in a burka.

My four-year-old has always been fascinated by my collection. One day I went into my room and I saw she had my coins out. She was just looking at them, but still. I told her not to touch them. I said, "what did I tell you?"
"Don't play with your treasures [her word, not mine]."
We put them away and she hasn't touched them since. But I wanted to get her started, so now she has silver of her very own. From now on, whenever I buy some I'll pick her up a coin or two. I'll keep them out of reach, but she'll know they're there and one day, when she's older, I'll give them to her fully.
Why keep them out of reach, does she try to eat stuff she picks up? If you can get her to not eat them try taking her to a coin shop with you and pick some things out of the 50 cent bin
I just don't want her to lose them. She can handle them if I'm around.
That's a really good idea to take her with me when I actually get to a coin shop. I do have a tarnished coin that I can give her.
Might get her a little more interested if she's picking out something that looks cool to her.
Mine would try and bring coins or 1 oz bars to kindergarten with her she did loose a 68 Kennedy, but she learned not to do It after that. She likes poured bars and comes with me to the coin shops and usually impresses the old timers with her knowledge, also they like teaching her stuff. I think more people should at least introduce their kids to coins/ metals, but I can count on my hand the times she has met another kid in a shop/show.
