ANA Convention Exhibits
World's Fair of Money® and National Money ShowTM
The Collector Gallery at ANA Conventions is one of the best attended and most interesting parts of the show. There are educational
displays on every area of numismatics from ancient coins and artifacts, tokens and medals, world coins, to modern United States coins and paper money.
The individual creativity is rivaled only by the quality and variety of the items on display. Each display invites the viewer to Discover and Explore
the World of Money!
Members are invited to share their knowledge, research, creativity and collections with other members and the general public at ANA’s two
annual conventions by preparing and displaying a numismatic exhibit. Exhibits are divided into one of three groups:
-
Competitive: exhibits that are placed in classes according their content and theme. They are carefully evaluated by a team of
dedicated judges, awarded points in areas such as “Numismatic Information,” “Presentation” or “Degree of
Difficulty” and compete for individual awards. Most exhibits on display fit into this category.
-
Non-competitive: exhibits that are not judged and not eligible for awards (except the People’s Choice Award). ANA staff
and convention officials may exhibit in this group.
-
Marquee: invitational, non-competitive, non-conforming exhibits that are used to enhance the exhibit area. This group includes
exhibits from the ANA Money Museum.
In order to place an exhibit, members must read, understand and agree to abide by the rules of exhibiting and submit a completed application
to the ANA Exhibit Coordinator by the deadline printed on the application.
Classes in preparing exhibits are offered at the ANA Summer Seminar bi-annually. Classes to certify exhibit judges are
offered at Summer Seminar and ANA Conventions.
Convention education opportunities would not be possible without the support of Convention Patrons
