When people give gifts such as collectible coins or rare coins to a
young child, what should be done with them? Should the parents put them
away until the child is old enough to understand that they're for
collecting and not spending? Then let the child decide what to do with
them? Or should the parents do whatever they want with them, including
spending them?


I personally think that if it's given to the child, it belongs to the child
and I would keep it for the child until the child is old enough to
understand it. I would never give such things to a child too young to
appreciate it unless I'm nearing death and couldn't wait until they're
older.
