With all of the hype these last few weeks about the Presidential race and politics, my son has gotten interested in coin collecting.  He has always liked money (who doesn’t) but watching the coverage of the conventions and stuff has gotten him interested more in politics.

Since he is in 6th grade, I thought this would be a great time to help him learn more about politics, American history and what better way to do that than with Presidential Dollar Coins.

While we can’t afford a lot, or I should say I can’t afford a lot, we are working on starting a collection so far that is pretty interesting.  Actually, the prices of the coins we are looking at haven’t been as bad as I thought they would have been.

We just picked up a 99 Presidential Gold Mint set for under $5!

If you are looking to combine history and investing, you might consider Presidential coin collecting.  It’s fun and a great way to spend time with your family.
