Attention: All Central States Member Coin Clubs.....

You are invited and encouraged to order five free dvd's from the list recently mailed by Ray Lockwood, Central States Education Director. All clubs are eligible for this free offer.

Also, clubs are requested to seriously consider donating numismatic books and publications to local libraries. A $100 donation will yield $500 more from Central States to purchase additional library books.

Finally, all CSNS clubs should check out the central states speaker reimbursement policy found on the education page of this website. This is yet another way that Central States is promoting numismatic education at the local club level.
