US Mint Conducts Numismatic Forum In Philadelphia At The Federal Reserve Bank

Numismatic News - On Oct. 13, the U.S. Mint conducted its Numismatic Forum in Philadelphia at the Federal Reserve Bank, followed by a reception at the U.S. Mint. I was one of those invited and was among approximately 50-55 people to come to this event. The program's objective was to discuss how the U.S. Mint could enhance promotion of coin collecting, especially in conjunction with the Mint's 225th anniversary next year.

The attendees included a number of leaders involved with numismatics and also a handful of everyday collectors. Since those attending had to pay their own costs to be there, it was evident that pretty much everyone came to contribute their generally constructive thoughts.

Jon Cameron, the U.S. Mint's associate director of numismatic, bullion and coin studies, served as the emcee for the day. Rhett Jeppson, the U.S. Mint's principal deputy director, welcomed the guests, introduced several of the Mint staff in attendance and emphasized that the event was meant to gain external insights to help the Mint in the future. American Numismatic Association President Jeff Garrett also welcomed participants.
