COINS FOR HALLOWEEN

  Nick Graver writes: "I just heard that a librarian friend is
  giving coins to children on Halloween!

  Nickels to the smaller children, and a plastic bag of five
  foreign coins to those old enough to read and possibly take
  an interest in history, geography, and coinage!

  Now isn't that a neat way to avoid problems with candy,
  and to start children as coin collectors, with no dental or
  dietary concerns!  He bought foreign coins in bulk and
  leftovers will keep till next year.

  Even though this great history buff seeks no recognition for
  his idea, here is  A Big Thanks to "Mr. S." who is not even
  a coin collector!"
