Earn Badges & Patches for Coin Collecting!
Classes for Young Numismatists that include information needed for Scouts to earn their badge are held at the National Money Show®, the World’s Fair of Money® and at the ANA headquarters in Colorado Springs. Scouts can earn a free initial one year membership to the ANA by earning their collecting patches. For more information or to order the “Fun with Money” patch, please contact the ANA at education@money.org or call 719-482-9846.
Programs like this would not be possible without the generous support of our donors.
Scout Leaders conducting coin collecting activities can request materials using this form.
Coin Collecting Merit Badge Course
To help aid Scouts in receiving their Coin Collecting Merit Badge, the American Numismatic Association offers a free online Google Classroom course that walks them through all requirements (updated 2024) needed to secure their badge.
Scouts will still need a Merit Badge Counselor to sign off for their badge. If a local Counselor isn’t available, Scouts are welcome to complete the badge with ANA Numismatic Educator Steven Roach, a certified Merit Badge Counselor.
