Did You Know? Collectibles Can Be Useful Educational Tools
Across the country, kids are heading back to school! It’s always great to see their excitement – whether it’s towards seeing their friends, or whether they’re interested in what the coming year will bring.
Learn more in Littleton’s Learn Center!
It’s no surprise that history is a subject that can tie coins and school together in many ways. Depending on the learning modules students work through, they can find a wealth of resources available in Littleton’s online Learn Center.
This free online resource area was created to help share information about coins, collectibles and the hobby in general. It holds some fantastic information that have really helped to bolster both confidence and enjoyment for our collectors! As K.K. from Green Bay, WI wrote us: “The history of these coins is very interesting, and is a good way to learn American history and economics!”
From articles and stories about coins and currency to educational pieces covering the history of money from ancient times to modern day, our Learn Center holds so much to discover! There, you can find our handy series of Collector Guides, too.
Enhance projects and reports
If you have youngsters in your life that are heading back to school, keep in mind that coins and school can go hand-in-hand! Whether it’s a project on America’s Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence, Presidential history, Native American culture, or U.S. geography – the ties between coins and school are far reaching.
