What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this site is worth a million bucks for kids who want to learn about money or collect coins, and for teachers organizing lessons about money or U.S. history. Kids not into coins or history may have to dig through piles of pages to find their pot of gold here, but there's fun stuff to be found, including safe coin-related games, cartoons, and interesting facts.

Educational value: Parents, teachers and kids interested in coins can visit this site often and learn something new. There's fresh content every month and an updated newsletter,"Making Cents," every three months.
