We hear all the time that the future of our hobby is grim. We hear that today’s kids are too distracted by video games or their phones to take up coin collecting. In reality, this may be a factor in why most kids are uninterested, but it is not the main reason. The biggest problem is that most kids have never even heard of coin collecting. Believe it or not, you can help fix this problem.

Chicago is and always has been a great place for numismatics. Whether it is a Columbian Exposition or a World's Fair of Money, Chicago always satisfies the collecting community. I found out this for myself when I went this past weekend with my mother. I had been wanting to go for a while mainly to see the Art Institute and the Federal Reserve Bank. Luckily, I got to do both on this trip.
