ANA Seeking Numismatic Theatre Presentations for Baltimore World’s Fair of Money, July 30 to Aug. 3 

All American Numismatic Association members are invited to share their expertise and imagination with fellow hobbyists by delivering a Numismatic Theatre presentation at the Baltimore World’s Fair of Money®, July 30 to Aug. 3. 
 
Numismatic Theatre consists of presentations on a wide variety of topics. It’s a wonderful opportunity for collectors to communicate their ideas and research with the numismatic community. The talks are an educational highlight of every ANA convention, and often focus on a wide range of topics including themes pertaining to a convention’s host city. 

Presentations from previous ANA conventions range from “Famous Numismatists of the Past and Present: Focus on Baltimore” and “The Panic & Depression of 1837-41: Baltimore’s Shinplaster Bank,” to “A Numismatic Look at Colonial Annapolis” and “The Medallic Art of Baltimore Sculptors Hans Schuler & Hans C. Schuler.” 

ANA members interested in giving a Numismatic Theatre presentation can download a proposal form at www.money.org (select “World’s Fair of Money” from the “Numismatic Events” scroll down menu, then select the “Education” tab and click on “Numismatic Theatre”). Applicants can either mail proposals to American Numismatic Association, 818 N. Cascade Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80903 or fax them to 719-634-4085. Proposals must be received by June 20. Theatre program videos and DVDs from past conventions are available for members to check out from the ANA Library (library@money.org).
