OK, I know it’s risky to create a new acronym in the numismatic community, but I think we need to talk about making numismatics more accessible. I jumped back into numismatics 3 years ago with the goal of becoming a numismatic educator in my local community. I joined the ANA, Central States, ILNA, and several local coin clubs to get the ball rolling. Because of those affiliations I was able to attend a lot of coin shows, seminars, presentations, auctions, exhibits, you name it I have done it all!
