Newman Numismatic Portal Announces NNP Symposium November 2-4, 2023

The Newman Numismatic Portal today announces the next NNP Symposium, which will take place November 2-4. This is a free, online event that brings together a variety of numismatic speakers and covers a wide array of numismatic subjects. Featuring approximately 30 presentations, attendees will easily find topics of interest. This is the seventh such event, which was launched in fall 2020 in response to the pandemic.

In the area of U.S. numismatics, our feature presentation will cover U.S. material in the cabinet of the American Numismatic Association (ANA). Beginning with the 1804 dollar and 1913 Liberty nickel, the ANA collection includes important items in multiple areas of U.S. numismatics. Doug Mudd, the ANA Curator, will be on hand to answer audience questions following this presentation.

Among other presentations, Dror Goldberg of the Open University of Israel will speak on his recently published book, Easy Money: American Puritans and the Invention of Modern Currency . Katie Ameku, Ray Feller, and Steve Feller will present on Japanese-American relocation center monies of World War II, providing a numismatic lens on internment camps of the period. Lianna Spurrier, who produces the NNP Symposium on behalf of the Newman Numismatic Portal, will speak on Japanese bar money issued from 1599-1869.
