Watch Your Change

When the economy get bad, people tend to dig into their coin/change jars. Which means all the change that is usually just sitting a jar is circulated, and a lot rarer coins are used. So, watch your change, because you may find some rare and valuable coins.

I know coin collecting seems like such a dull and worthless thing to do, but there is so much history and even economic implications (like how much copper is actually put into a penny)about when a coin is made. Also, it a great way to spend sometime with your kids teaching about things like that.

I do make it a point that with collecting, it is best not too seek out coins, because it costs a lot of money, but just to watch your change and see what you get lucky finding.
