Mrs. McCord had one of her 3rd grade students turn in his star cards (class incentive) to do a show and tell. He brought his coin collection to share with the class. The student has been collecting coins since Kindergarten. The oldest coin dates back to the 1800's. Students saw some coins that were made and used during the Civil War. WOW!
