Review: Coins made of clay? - The Dig! and Discover: Ancient Coins set has "coins" made of clay, set into the bottom of the clay in the kit. So while they say the coins are "cast," it's very misleading--who casts coins in mud/clay rather than metal? The end discovery was disappointing for our child, and I'm not sure exactly how he was supposed to "restore" clay coins. We think the product's value in the end is about $5. It's a shame, too, because it seemed to have a lot of potential. For example, there was interesting information about ancient coins included in the kit, but the final product was so uninteresting that our child wasn't inclined to learn more. Review: Engaging for the Explorer of Any Age - Purchased the "Dig! Kits: Ancient Coins" as a gift. It was well-received by the giftee and they related it arrived well-packaged in a timely manner. If you know someone who has an interest in old coins and old civilizations who also likes to work with their hands it would be a great idea for a gift selection. Personally I'm of the opinion it is "age-appropriate" for anyone interested in this sort of subject matter. ## Features - Experience the thrill of discovery with the Dig!

So while they say the coins are "cast," it's very misleading--who casts coins in mud/clay rather than metal? The end discovery was disappointing for our child, and I'm not sure exactly how he was supposed to "restore" clay coins. We think the product's value in the end is about $5. It's a shame, too, because it seemed to have a lot of potential. For example, there was interesting information about ancient coins included in the kit, but the final product was so uninteresting that our child wasn't inclined to learn more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engaging for the Explorer of Any Age *by A***E on March 21, 2007* Purchased the "Dig! Kits: Ancient Coins" as a gift. It was well-received by the giftee and they related it arrived well-packaged in a timely manner. If you know someone who has an interest in old coins and old civilizations who also likes to work with their hands it would be a great idea for a gift selection. Personally I'm of the opinion it is "age-appropriate" for anyone interested in this sort of subject matter. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Educational, Highly Recommended *by L***L on June 22, 2006* This is a great product. Kristal Educational does a fantastic job in teaching archaeology, palentology, astronomy, or geology through a toy. This toy also teaches patience and perseverance. Sure, there is a mess issue, but it can be easily contained by simply using newsaper, a little attentiveness, and a "project area". Note: This is a "project" toy. It does take some time to complete. I would not recommend it to any child that has a low attention level. My daughter received the Wooly Mammoth Dig Kit as a gift and she enjoyed it immensely. She still proudly displays it today. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/21469316-dig-discover-ancient-coins](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/21469316-dig-discover-ancient-coins) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
