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.
