    we've settled on a gold dollar coin per tooth.

    Where do you get gold dollar coins?
  • haruszpapa · 3 months ago
    i'm sure you can get them at the bank as well but we picked up a few from the stamp vending machine at the post office. the machine gives change in dollar coins.

    I give mine a whole dollar!! Somehow they think it's better when I give them a dollar bill instead of four quarters.

    I wish I could do that, but my son already knows way too much about money for that trick. ;)

    1 or 2 dollars is fine, I think.
  • dcfemella · 3 months ago
    Yes, I think it is as well. =D

    We give $5, but I know several family who give $1 per tooth and the kids are very happy!

    I decided on $2. When he saw the money, he said, "Awwww...I wanted $20." I said, "Babe, the tooth fairy doesn't give out that kind of money unless it's a ton of teeth." =D

    I think part of the reason the "tooth fairy" gives kiddos money is so they can enjoy it But I like you, don't think going overboard is healthy. I would have to say anything over 5 dollars is over doing it. I will probably give Vaness 3 to 5 dollars with the time comes. She will have a field day at the dollar store lol. But that gold piece is a brilliant idea!
