With a mission to educate and encourage
others to study and collect money and
related items, the nonprofit American
Numismatic Association (ANA) provides
numerous educational opportunities to coin
enthusiasts.
Money Talks
is one such program offered during ANA
annual conventions. However, with the
cancellation of the National Money Show in
March due to COVID-19 restrictions, this
year's presentations have been moved
online.
The 30- to 45-minute programs will be
streamed live through the ANA's
eLearning Academy
from May 24 through June 1. The webinars
are presented by collectors who are often
experts in their field of study. Money
Talks presentations start at 10 a.m. MDT
and include:

A Taste of Summer Seminar
Another ANA educational program moving
online this year is
Summer Seminar. The ANA previously announced the annual
event, scheduled for June 19-24 (Session 1)
and June 26-July 1 (Session 2), was
cancelled due to COVID-19. Summer Seminar
is a once-a-year opportunity that offers
collectors a varied selection of week-long
courses designed for discovery or continued
study.
The Association will offer free virtual
courses through the ANA eLearning Academy
during the 2021 Summer Seminar dates that
will provide participants a taste of the
popular program. Topics will appeal to a
broad range of collectors – from beginners
to advanced numismatists – and will be
presented by some of the hobby's most
renowned numismatists.
Learn more about Summer Seminar by visiting
money.org/summer-seminar
and to access the eLearning schedule once
it has been finalized.
ANA eLearning Academy
The ANA eLearning Academy began in 2020 as
a way to keep hobbyists engaged during a
time when COVID-19 forced the cancellation
of in-person numismatic events and
gatherings throughout the country. Courses
are led by collectors and professional
numismatists, covering a wide array of
topics related to numismatics. Classes
change month-to-month and a list for
upcoming courses can be found on the
eLearning web page.
All webinars have been recorded and are
available to watch on the eLearning web
page or the
ANA's YouTube channel.
The ANA eLearning Academy webinars are made
possible by
Greysheet, the Official ANA eLearning Academy
Partner.
