ANA Club Local Coin Clubs
Most cities and towns have a local “home town” coin club and you are invited to attend and share
the camaraderie! Generally, clubs meet once or twice a month in a bank, library, school, church or other public building. Some clubs meet at a
restaurant and the meeting includes dinner, but they are the exception. Local clubs commonly take the name of their town like the West Chester, Long
Beach or Colorado Springs Coin Clubs.
Club activities usually cover all numismatic interests from coins to paper money to tokens and medals and may include an educational program; bourse or auction night where members can buy, trade and sell; “show and tell” enabling members to share stories about items in their collections; a program for young collectors and seasonal social events. Many clubs have a yearly coin show that is open to the public; most have a newsletter and/or a website. Each ANA member club has an ANA representative who can answer specific questions about his/her club.
