Ideal for someone who wants to learn about coins and currency
I wanted a book for my 9 year old who has recently started collecting coins. Many of the books available are more about the value of coins but this one is nice as it is more aimed at learning about the coins themselves. Highly recommended for new collectors or anyone interested in learning about the history of coins and currency.
