Young Numismatists

The Boeing Employees Coin Club encourages participation by all junior collectors who have a sincere interest in the numismatic hobby.  The Boeing company-sponsored recreation program also encourages participation by eligible family members in all of the Boeing recreation clubs.

Young numismatists, commonly referred to as "YN's" in the hobby, have the opportunity to participate in BECC events as well as events sponsored by other local coin clubs, by the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association, and by the American Numismatic Association.  At BECC regular meetings, YN's often receive special donated prizes, and have the opportunity to earn additional prizes by helping out as auction "runners" or by displaying numismatic items as part of the club's monthly displays.

Come on in and join the fun and excitement of the numismatic hobby, while perhaps learning something about art, economics, geography, history, politics and science in the process!

ANA Electronic Newsletter for Young Numismatists

“Your Newsletter,” an electronic communication device designed for Young Numismatists (YNs), has been launched by the ANA. “We were looking for a way to improve communication with YNs on an informal basis,” says ANA Education Director Gail Baker, who is spearheading the project. “Many young collectors are very conversant with the Internet and E-mail, and we think this weekly newsletter is right up their alley.” Baker notes that the electronic publication, named by long-time YN advisor Larry Gentile Sr., is designed to keep YNs up-to-date on projects, events and activities offered by the ANA and its member clubs. It also provides a forum for exchanging ideas, interests and stories, and includes games, quizzes and special opportunities to earn “YN Dollars” that can be spent - either in person or by mail bid - at special auctions held for young numismatists every summer. 

“Your Newsletter is a cooperative information device,” Baker adds. “All young collectors and adults who work with YNs can have the newsletter E-mailed directly to them, or they can read it on the ANA’s web site under "Communications." We advise our subscribers that the newsletter is intended for personal or private use and commercial distribution is prohibited.” To be included (or deleted) e-mail your request to YourNewsletter@money.org.
