Most were gifts from my parents
See, to me that is awesome! My goal this year is instead of the "traditional" Christmas gifts for my kids and nieces and nephews, is finding some Morgan or Peace dollars and giving them instead. We usually spend around $50 for niece and nephew anyway, so it would be perfect! My problem is getting my wife on board.
Russian mentioned earlier that he likes to give gifts that are realted to birth years and what not, and that is so neat. Something I have never thought about before. Granted, the kids will probably open them now and treat them as if it is clothes inside, or try to spend it, but one day, it could really mean something to them.

They will. But a day will come when they really feel like you did a great thing. It took me years to realize what my parents were doing. And if you look at my stuff, I have some really cool things that I really enjoy looking at. I love my El Cazador piece. It's surprisingly my only graded coin. I should get the Huguenot coin graded because it's a pretty rare piece too.

The humorous thing is the first thing my kids did when I gave them their Morgan New Orleans minted silver dollars (in perfect uncirculated condition, btw) which were issued 100 years prior to their year of birth was to ask me to put their coins in my safe deposit box, where they have stayed. I wrote their names on their coins but they never see them.
