Toronto Coin Expo – Kids’ Coin Collecting Workshop & Auction

Event Details

The Toronto Coin Expo is Canada’s premier coin and bank note collectible show, located in downtown Toronto in the Toronto Reference Library. On Saturday, October 5, the Expo is offering an educational workshop and auction, especially for kids, to teach them about coin collecting.

10:15 am: Coin Collecting for Kids
A workshop for the young (and young at heart!) who want to learn more about what beginners can collect. Participants will also see how chocolate coins are made, which is “strikingly” similar to how the Mint makes real coins. Chocolate coins (as well as real ones) will be available to sort into your collection. Free to young collectors in attendance at the Coin Expo.

10:45 am: Kids’ Coin Auction
This will be a fun-filled auction for the younger numismatists. This numismatic auction is only for young collectors, and they will be using school play money to buy real items. It’s a fun, interactive presentation, and a must-attend. (recommended for kids 8+)
