thanks all for the input, a fiver it will be. I wish I could post a pic, he pushed his tongue a bit thru the gap and said, "look dad its Texas" and it did look just like Texas, good times.
I think $1.00 is more than enough. I don't ever remember as a child getting more than a nickle for a tooth. Don't start a child off on thinking they are "entitled" to $40.00 or $20.00 or whatever figure other than nominal for a tooth. The planting of seeds of "entitlement" unfortunately do not benefit the child.

I think a kid would love something different like a $2 bill or a 'Silver' Dollar (or a Susan B Anthony or whatever)...
That makes it more special...

$5 is a good choice. Growing up my mother used to teeter in between giving a dollar and nothing at all. Getting a dollar was always a bit of a let down, especially when I lost the majority of them before they made it under the pillow anyway.
This. We always put a couple packs of sugarless gum or something like that under the pillow. We found out early that's what they spend their money on anyways.
I like the idea of a special coin or two. Teach to save at an early stage.
+1 on this
Holy Cow. All I ever got was a quarter!
