The American Numismatic Association (ANA) will host their largest coin show of the year, August 6-10. Taking place at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, the World's Fair of Money® will feature incredible exhibits of rarities, some on public display for the first time.

The convention attracts collectors from all over the United States and features more than 500 dealers on-site to buy and sell rare coins, paper money, gold and silver, and more. Experts will provide free, informal evaluation of the public's old money; visitors can take photos with Abraham Lincoln, Ben Franklin, and George Washington reenactors; and free educational seminars and lectures are open to all. Families will also have access to Ernie's Treasure Treehouse, a section of the show dedicated to games providing opportunities for kids to win prizes.

Convention Hours

The convention, located in Hall A of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, is open 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. Admission is $10 per person, or $25 for a week pass. On Saturday, admission is free for everyone. A valid photo ID is required for entry.

Exhibits of Exceptional Rarities

Coins valued in the millions – such as a $3 million nickel – and seldom-seen historical exhibits from the ANA's Money Museum and treasures from private collections are a huge draw for everyone. Rarities on display include:

Learning Opportunities

Money Talks lectures will be presented throughout the week by well-known professionals in the field of coin collecting. These lectures provide collectors a forum in which to share their views and research with the public and are free to attend. The 30- to 45-minute programs accommodate questions from the audience.

The Sundman Lecture Series, also free and open to the public, will focus on the theme "A Century of Change; 1924 to 2024." Presenters will discuss how money, its appearance, subject matter and the numismatic hobby has changed over the last 100 years. The symposium will be held in room 4 on Wednesday, August 7, 10 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. The lecture series is underwritten by Maynard Sundman/Littleton Coin Co. Lecture Series Endowment and David Sundman.

Family Experiences

Children attending the show can visit Ernie's Treasure Treehouse (sponsored by Kevin Lipton Rare Coins), an educational area to play games and earn Hoot Loot to spend on numismatic items of their choice. Games include Treasure Trivia, the cash cube, plinko, cornhole, coin toss, designing coins and more.

On Saturday, August 10 from 9 a.m. to noon, a free workshop for children called The Young Collectors Corner will teach the basics of the hobby of coin collecting.
