Adventure Across the States: Collecting State Quarters And Other Coins

How do you pay for things you buy at the store? You probably use dollar bills. Grownups with bank accounts can write a check, or pay with a plastic debit card. In this book, we look at another kind of money, one that people like to collect as well as spend: coins! Millions of people collect the U.S. Mint's state quarters. You can collect them, too-these are coins that you can find in your pocket change, so they only cost $.25 each. And there's one quarter for each state, including yours. This book shows you all of the state quarters through 2005. You'll also learn about other coins you can collect, including Buffalo nickels, Lincoln cents, and Kennedy half dollars. Plus how to grade coins, how to protect your collection, and a lot more. Actual size of book - H 9" x W 6" - 92 Pages - Fully Illustrated.
