Depends on your definition of "kid". It's really hard to interest
a teenager in a new hobby. I think getting it to someone under 12 would
be more likely to spark an interest in coins. Everyone who works at
Hardee's is at least 14. Maybe if you "accidentally" present one of
those porno booth tokens with the nude figures on it as a coin, that
might spark some interest, or at least some back-room giggling....
