Our adventure, taking place from Sept. 25 through Oct. 2, features amazing numismatic attractions such as the British Museum’s collection of money, the Coinex 2024 show, a V.I.P. tour of the British Royal Mint, and more. A week of sensational coin exploration awaits.
“Our team couldn’t be more excited to offer this outstanding travel opportunity to the numismatics community,” said Pahl. “Getting the chance to tour some of the most historic and numismatic-rich sites in the United Kingdom while connecting with other enthusiastic hobbyists throughout the week is really a dream come true! I’m especially looking forward to exploring the Royal Mint on our V.I.P. tour and getting a hands-on experience at St. Fagans Museum. Join us!”
