The Kids' Korner at a Whitman Coin & Collectibles Expo is a great place for children age 6 to 12 years to learn about the history and excitement of coin collecting. That's why Expos make for a great, family outing that won't cost you a dime.

At this year's Philly Expo, kids learned how to match state quarters to their location on the U.S. map. They colored various coin images, participated in a "coin grab" (in which they get to keep all the coins they could hold in one hand). And Boy Scouts can even earn their merit badge at the Expo. Kids' Korner can be found at any of the five Whitman Expos in Baltimore, Philadelphia and--coming in May 2010--Nashville, Tennessee. And there are often historical, costumed characters on hand. At the Philly Expo, General George Washington mustered young recruits and inducted them into the Continental Army, complete with their own training musket.

So, bring the kids and the family and come out to a Whitman Expo, where you can enjoy Kids' Korner and learn something about the fun and educational hobby of coin collecting.
