Answer 1

Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of quarters or half dollars are $500. You don't have to buy the whole box. The bank can pull out whatever amount you like.

Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin album and try to fill all the holes (get one for each year) or just search for interesting ones.

The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same coins over and over). Everything you find will have been obtained at face value. You'd be surprised what people have found. Check out these links to see:

Also check your change for interesting finds.

Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with the "S" mintmark - it could be a proof coin etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!

It's also helpful to buy a red book. It can help you price your coins and will answer many of the questions you may have.

OR IF THAT'S NOT FOR YOU...

Answer 2

Adam,
here are some cheap ideas to try:
toothpick constructions of all sorts
sculptures made from natural objects found around a park or your house
sculptures created with recyclable items, or reused things
make things by cutting up and gluing together cardboard

Moderately priced:
wooden ship models -they are expensive to buy, but they take so long to finish that they become cheap over time.
plastic models

Answer 3

learn juggling. All you need to get you started are 3 objects. To begin with, something like a beanbags would be good. Or old tennis balls are useful (even better if you fill them with sand). You could even use old socks (without holes) fill them partway with rice, dry peas, beans or whatever and knot/sew them closed. Use approximately the same weight for all of them. Below a website with tricks to practice. You can spend years with that kind of stuff.
