My Grandma got me into coin collecting back when I was 4-5. We would always dig thru her change and pick out certain ones. She would also save special ones for me or pick up something at the bank for my birthday or Christmas. She got me several Kennedy halves and some of the Esinhowers you mentioned.
That has turned into a lifelong hobby. I still don't have much, but it's fun and worthwhile IMO. Its a much better investment than what most of my other hobbies are.
