Youth Activities Summary
Uncover a world of adventure at the Houston Money Show, where Saturday’s youth activities turn coin collecting into an action-packed experience for kids and teens! Hosted by the Greater Houston Coin Club, this portion of the event is entirely free and custom-built to spark curiosity in young numismatists. Young explorers in grades 3 through 12 can dive into a thrilling Treasure Hunt to track down historical currencies, grab a handful of literal bounty from the popular Treasure Chest Grab, get their hands on U.S. cents at the Put-A-Penny-In-Slot activity station, and obtain information on how to participate in the ever popular Coins for A’s program.
Aspiring collectors aged 6 to 17 can also feel the rush of a live trading floor at the Youth Auction, bidding on real pieces to grow their personal collections. Additionally, Boy and Girl Scouts can jumpstart their goals by registering for the official Scout Merit Badge Clinic to earn their coin collecting insignia in a single day. Whether they are looking to win prizes, complete an album, or learn the hidden history behind the change in their pockets, the Houston Money Show offers a wealth of hands-on fun that makes learning about history and numismatics an unforgettable experience.
