ANA announces theme contest for National Coin Week where the top three winners will receive coins and prizesEvery third week in April the American Numismatic Association (ANA) promotes the study and collecting of coins and currency through National Coin Week.

The week of celebration is filled with a series of activities ranging from sponsored school events to numismatic exhibits and public gatherings.

To help "send out the call", the ANA provides ideas, promotional material and exposure to coin dealers, clubs and others who participate.

Themed approach to National Coin Week

The ANA focuses special attention not only on a week each year but also within a numismatic theme. They describe the reason as:

"Each National Coin Week has a theme chosen to engage people in learning more about money’s role in culture, art, history and science."

As an example, this year the theme was, The Presidents are Coming! – celebrated the United States Mint’s Presidential $1 Coin Program.
