Pin Trading
Pin trading has become a huge hobby in the United States - and it's a great way to remember and collect Olympic memories.

(Dec. 8, 2001)------
Pins have actually been part of the games since the beginning.
They were originally used as accreditation for coaches and athletes to get in and out of venues.
Now, they're made to help raise money for the games.
They're also a great way to get involved in the Olympic spirit without going to an event - pin trading takes place on the street, on buses - every where you turn during the games.
Bret Almassy/Owner, Dare to Dream: "IF YOU REALY LIKE A PIN, BUY TWO, ONE TO KEEP AND ONE TO TRADE. CHANCES ARE, IF YOU LIKE IT, SOMEONE ELSE WILL LIKE IT."
Dare to Dream, an Olympic memorabilia store downtown, teaches pin classes each Thursday night, with tips on how to get started collecting, and trading.
