In The News(Links open in new window.)
President's MessageNOW has operated a professionally built and managed website for almost four years. Our principal purpose, like that of all NOW activities and programs, is to educate collectors and the public about money and numismatics. I think that our website is serving this purpose admirably. I have been gratified that the website has given us the chance to help collectors identify their coins and identify reputable dealers to evaluate and purchase their coins. I have handled several such cases in the past couple of years. Over the years, we have beefed up the site with links to several numismatic websites, including the ANA, the U.S. Mint and the BEP, the Secret Service, the ANS, Central States and other organizations. News articles featuring coins and currency can be found under the "What’s New" pulldown tab. There are also tabs covering ANA news, club news, new books, club meetings, coin shows, membership applications, and links to send e-mails to the NOW officers. Since we began, we have attracted a lot of traffic to our website. On occasion, someone who is particularly excited (or upset) will send me an e-mail to express their opinion. Here is text from an e-mail praising NOW’s website that I received from collector Jacob Crane. "Thank you for sharing these links to coin collectors. I am really pleased about the number of links in addition to the great content available [in the Links section]. Such a big help for numismatists like me. I’d usually spend hours online looking for a good resource until I discovered your website. It was a breeze going through your page – you really did a good job here. Now your site is just a click away from my bookmark. I am hoping that you continue to maintain your page..." The website can always make use of photos of NOW activities or information that can be linked to our site. Please send any material intended for the NOW website to the website coordinator Leon Saryan. Thanks are due to Justin Staley who has helped build and maintain the website on an ongoing basis. Bookmark the site for future reference! Thad |
Did you know...
Banks are among the oldest of our commercial establishments. More than 3,000 of them have been in business for 50 years or more... some have passed the century mark, and a few have served their cities for more than 150 years. Banks help put students through college in two ways: First by helping their parents set up long-term savings plans while the children are young, and secondly, by offering education loans that help young people get a good start in life. [reprinted from Bank Notes by Malcom]  The “Guinness Book of Records” holds the record of being the book most often stolen from public libraries! Numismatic Web Sites |
