Winter Coin Show -- February 2 - 4, 2024
YOUng numismatists
The starting place
Low Country Coin Club encourages young people of all ages to take a look at the world of numismatism - that is COIN COLLECTING. We want to do all we can to encourage young men and women to become a part of our group.
A YOUNG NUMISTMATIST is officially considered anyone under 18 that collects coins or related collectibles.
Sometimes young people will follow a parent into the hobby if he or she is a collector. But even when a parent is not a collector, we want young people to find out about this hobby.
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have merit badges for coin collecting and often the taste of collecting in quest of the merit badge can lead to a lifetime hobby.
But this is just one part of it.
This page is new for our Low Country Coin Club, but it is just a beginning. If you are interested in collecting, if you are interested in passing your collecting knowledge on to future generations of collectors, we urge you to visit our club meetings or come to our next coin show.
There is always a table (or two) for young collectors at our shows. Look for the YN section when you are there.
This page will be posting special information for young people. Check it out occassionally. You'll never know what you might miss.
Come by and see what coin collecting is all about.

The coin celebrates Caesar Rodney's 80-mile horseback ride in 1776 to cast his vote in favor of Delaware signing the Declaration of Independence.
Where your coins come from
The Mint makes most circulating coins from large sheets of metal rolled into coils. Imagine a big roll of wrapping paper! The metal of the coil matches the types of metal in the finished coin.
Round discs called blanks are punched out from the metal sheet. The blanks are heated to make them softer and then washed. They pass through a machine that squeezes them, forcing the sides up to form a rim. The coin press uses the die to stamp the blanks with the coin design. Mint employees inspect the coins to make sure there are no flaws. The coins are counted and weighed, then put into large bags to send all over the country.
The Mint sends the shiny new coins to Federal Reserve Banks (Deliver). From there, they go to local banks across the country to enter circulation.
Coins are “in circulation” when we use them as money. They get passed around from banks, stores, and people over and over again (Circulate). You use your coins to buy something from a store. The store takes your coins to the bank. The bank then gives the coins to another store, and so on.
If you save coins in your piggy bank, it takes them out of circulation (Save).
Fun Fact! The Mint makes new coins each year, but they make up less than 20% of the total coins in circulation. More than 80% comes from people re-using coins to pay for goods and services.
