“Beautiful Places: Landmarks and Mintmarks” is the theme of 2010 National Coin Week, April 18-24. The theme celebrates the many historic and scenic places that have inspired designs on coins and paper money throughout U.S. and world history.
ROAD TRIP TREASURE HUNT
This year, the ANA is going
on a virtual road trip -- and we want you to come along! The cross-country venture will double as
a treasure hunt. Beginning Presidents Day, February 15, a clue to a numismatic object will be provided once a week via e-mail and on this page.
The final clue will be revealed the Monday of National Coin Week, and all road-trippers who complete the hunt and register their findings will enter a
drawing for a 1/2 ounce gold coin (revealed during the trip) and other great prizes. To reserve a spot for the trip and have information and weekly
clues sent to you via e-mail, send a message to ncw@money.org with "ROAD TRIP" in the subject line.
ATTENTION CLUBS
An activity testing your numismatic
know-how will be available by March 1. It's up to club members to find the answers to a series of
TOUGH questions and return them to ANA headquarters by April 24 -- the final day of National Coin Week. Prizes will be awarded for clubs who score the
highest on this challenging test of knowledge; prizes include a 1999 Yellowstone National Park silver dollar honoring the first U.S. National Park
(1872), a selection of numismatic objects from 1872, 2010 proof sets; and more. To receive a package with the club quiz and many other promotional
materials, send an e-mail to ncw@money.org with your club name and address, or call 719-482-9814.
