Kids project: Queen Elizebeth II coins

Today Kids Project will be Queen Elizebeth II coins. One of the longest reigning monarchs of the British. You can easily find a coins with Queen Elizebeth II faces since she is the queen regnant of sixteen independent states known informally as the Commonwealth realms: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. She are also acting as Head of the Commonwealth, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Duke of Normandy, Lord of Mann, and Paramount Chief of Fiji.

To anyone who is new to my blog, Kids Project is a suggestion from me, the best and cheap way to start collecting coin for your kids. This coin hunting project will only cost around 50 to 100 ringgit and you don't need to start with a big budget. You can give them a small budget every month and go out together for their coin hunting trip. You do not have to start with any budget at all with some of my Kids project. Most of them is a circulation coin that you can find in your pocket.
