Cool Coins: Creating Fun and Fascinating Collections (Cool Collections)
The first in a new Cool Collections series, this title combines a brief history of coins, some fairly technical information about their manufacture and the elements of a coin (date, rim, inscription, etc.), with suggestions on starting a collection and caring for, organizing, preserving, and displaying it. The direct text is accompanied by lots of color photos and boxed insets on each double-page spread. Whether hooked by the present State Quarters Program or stimulated to check change jars around the house, budding collectors will find much here to get them started. Others in the series includeCool CardsandCool Stamps.Hazel RochmanCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
