Canadian Numismatic Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canadian Numismatic Association was founded in 1950. It is a nonprofit association for coin collectors and other people interested in Canadian numismatics. It has members throughout Canada and in other countries. It is affiliated with the Numismatic Educational Services Association (NESA), a Canadian educational and charitable organization, which provides funding for some of the CNA's educational seminars and publications.

Within the Canadian Numismatic Association, founding member Jerome Remick suggested or initiated a number of significant changes. He recommended establishing a fellowship, encouraged the CNA to adopt a bilingual logo and suggested creating the Young Numismatists Kit. In 1994, he established a literary award for best article in a club newsletter. [1]

The CNA holds an annual convention in a different city each year. The convention includes a bourse area where dealers buy and sell coins and other nusmimatic items.

Members receive a subscription to the Canadian Nusmismatic Journal as part of their membership. Other CNA publications include:

  • Canadian Coins 101, a home-study course,
  • A Half Century of Advancement in Numismatics, a history of the CNA.
  • CNA/NESA Correspondence Course
  • CNA/NESA Correspondence Course #2

Members can borrow books and other materials from the CNA's library by mail.

The CNA offers educational seminars. The Canadian Numismatic Association launched a new correspondence course, known as the Canadian Numismatic Correspondence Course - Part II. Since the release of the original correspondence course in 1995, demand led to the creation of a new course for collectors. The original course was also launched in Calgary in grand style. The Canadian Numismatic Correspondence Course - Part II consists of seventeen chapters, 486 pages and hundreds of photos. The authors were chosen from the C.N.A. for their numismatic expertise of the subject covered. The chapters include the following: [2]

In 1990, the Executive Committee of the C.N.A established a member service award: Fellow – Canadian Numismatic Association. The criteria for this award is that a member of the Canadian Numismatic Association must have performed a worthy service judged to be of a direct benefit to the association. [4] Nominations are made by members, and the recipients are decided by The Awards and Medals Committee. The committee proceeds by presenting its choices, up to 5 each year, at the annual convention. Fellows in the Canadian Numismatic Association are authorized the use of the letters, F.C.N.A. to follow their name. [5] The first awards were made at the 1991 C.N.A. Convention in Toronto, Ontario.
