No silver, and whatever numismatic value they have is minor. Essentially they're worth $1. Nathan mostly plays with his because he likes the novelty of a coin so large. I don't think it's ever occurred to him to spend them. If/when he does think that way, I'll give him 1:1 in regular old cash to spend. Lee: No, these are Eisenhower dollars, copper-nickel clad.

Are the boys allowed to sell the coin for spendable cash? Just out of curiosity, are those the 40% Silver Dollars? Are the boys allowed to sell the coin for spendable cash?

The Tooth Fairy at a friend's house accidentally used a larger denomination bill instead of the dollar bill that she thought she was grabbing. It set the bar WAY too high. Can't make that mistake with a Silver Dollar. azn8tive – I keep reminding myself that my picky eaters will someday turn into ravenous teenagers. :-)

Lea, it's been my experience that kids do lose teeth at about the same rate and frequency as they came in. My 13 year old lost 4 molars within two weeks over the summer - it was a wonder how he could eat, alas he found a way. :) I just love the “toothless” grins!

So, it kind of makes sense that he's losing a bunch at the same time since it seems like he cut a bunch of his teeth all at once when he was a baby. Still, I hope the rate slows down until he gets a few permanent teeth in! Christmas pictures should be cute this year!

Look at the photo for reference; he's symmetrical now.

He worked the lower one out by himself at school. My method with each of the two uppers was to wait until he decided he wanted me to help, and give it a good solid push to the rear. Then, after he got over that (couple of minutes or so), pull straight down. Jeremy, I considered it, but I was sure he’d do exactly what I did at his age, which was walk with the door.
