Coin of the Year: Voting Opened to Collectors and Public

The Coin of the Year (COTY) event is in its remarkable 25th year of honoring mints from around the world that produce coins of beauty with meaning.

For the first time ever, observers of the contest can also vote. An entirely new category, the "People’s Choice" Award, is open to coin collectors or, for that matter, anyone in the public who cares to vote.

The COTY and the "People’s Choice" Award is a World Coin News sponsored event. Its editor, David C. Harper, remarked in the announcement,

"For the first time ever, thanks to the Internet, we are opening up the Coin of the Year decision-making process to public participation… We have always cared about what average collectors think about new coin issues, and we here at World Coin News believe this added public element will augment the prestige of the COTY Award"
