CENTRAL AMERICAN NUMISMATIC CONGRESS

  From a press release: "The Museums of the Central Bank
  of Costa Rica are organizing the First Central American
  Numismatic Conference, to take place from September 1
  8-21, 2002, in the Museum's locale in San José, Costa
  Rica. This congress is designed to allow Central American
  numismatists to exchange knowledge, experiences, and
  research methods.  We have also provided for the
  presentation of papers on other Latin American countries,
  in order to enhance the intellectual reach of the congress.

  Overall aim:  To present the most recent research findings
  in the area of Central American numismatics, in order to
  compare approaches and methodological advances in the
  study of coins

 Specific goals:
    1.      To bring together the leading researchers in the
             field of Central American numismatics
    2.      To promote periodic communication between
             Central American researchers in order to share
             experiences in the field of numismatics
    3.      To promote regional studies into the history of
             coinage in Central America

  Thus far we have received preregistration forms from
  collectors and researchers in the United States, El Salvador,
  Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador, and
  Chile, who intend to participate as attendees or as presenters.

  Throughout the congress we will be providing simultaneous
  translation from English to Spanish and Spanish to English.
