American
Numismatic Association
The American Numismatic Association is located
at 818 North Cascade Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80903-3279. Founded in 1891, the
Association received a Federal Charter by the United States Congress in 1912 and had it
renewed in perpetuity in 1962. The ANA maintains the distinction of being one of the very
few organizations in the United States to operate under a Federal charter.
The purpose of the organization, as stated in
its Charter, is to advance and promote the study of coins, paper money, tokens, medals and
related numismatic items as a means of recording world history, art, economic development
and social changes, and to promote greater popular interest in the field of numismatics.
Today, with about 28,000 members, the
nonprofit, educational group is the largest numismatic organization of its kind in the
world. It is supported entirely by membership dues, gifts and the sale of its publications
and services.
The ANA was formed to advance the knowledge of
numismatics along educational, historical and scientific lines, as well as enhance
interest in the hobby. To further this purpose, the organization offers numerous services
and programs, including a monthly journal, The Numismatist.
