Collecting coins is a lifelong hobby that brings great joy and satisfaction to numerous individuals. Yet, what numismatist wouldn’t want to share their coin passion with the young ones in their life?

Disney Princess Stocking Stuffer Coins
The New Zealand Mint has been producing stunning collectible coins for the tiny country of Niue since 2008. In 2015 and 2016 NZM minted an extensive line of silver coins celebrating Disney’s most iconic princesses.
Each Disney Princess coin depicts a beautifully colourized image of the princess overlaid on a background of scattered flowers or foliage on the reverse. The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Several princess coins are available including these:
- Snow White from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”

- Ariel from “The Little Mermaid”
- Belle from “Beauty and the Beast”
- Cinderella from “Cinderella”

Not only would these be perfect stocking stuffer coins, but they could also inspire your child’s first coin collection.
Dinosaur Coin Collectibles for Kids
What child isn’t fascinated by dinosaurs? In collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Nature, the Royal Canadian Mint has produced three amazing dinosaur coins. The colourized coins use a holographic effect that offers two different thrilling scenes of each prehistoric giant. The coins come in a colourful folder that includes six trading cards, making them very special stocking stuffer coins for kids.
The Royal Canadian Mint offers a captivating three-coin set of engraved 25-cent coins, showcasing three remarkable dinosaurs discovered in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation located in the fossil-rich province of Alberta. Encased in a unique pop-up folder, these coins beautifully capture the essence of these ancient creatures.
Christmas and Winter-Themed Special Coins for Kids
Slipping special coins for kids into their Christmas stockings can become a beautiful family tradition. There is an extensive selection of Christmas-themed stocking stuffer coins that can be added to your children’s collection year after year. Start by taking a look at these:
The 2022 APMEX Happy Holidays coins: These coins shaped as ornaments are beautifully crafted, each showcasing delightful designs. One features a charming green cottage with a cheerful snowman on the snowy lawn, while the other presents a welcoming Polar Bear adorned with Christmas lights. There are also coins that feature a decorated house for the holidays, snowmen and a Christmas tree. These pieces are bound to bring a smile to your face. Look for more appearing in 2023!

2010 50-cent Santa & Red-Nosed Reindeer Lenticular Coin is truly magical. It celebrates the legend of Santa’s reindeer who gained flight power from magic corn. The corn enhanced their strength, gave them endless energy, and the ability to run on air as if it were solid. This coin symbolizes their worldwide journey spreading joy and wonder in one night.
2012 50-cent Santa’s Magical Visit Lenticular Coin: This 2012 Lenticular coin features two vivid images by Tony Bianco.
