ANA CANCELS PLANS TO DEVELOP WASHINGTON, D.C. NUMISMATIC MUSEUM

According to a press release published on Friday, "The American
Numismatic Association has halted plans for a previously proposed
museum in Washington, D.C.

"'At this point in time we can't make the financial commitment
to raise over $20 million that would be needed for the Washington
project. When the association's finances allow us to do so,
we may revisit this proposal in the future,' explained Barry
Stuppler, ANA President.

"At its upcoming October 15 and 16 meetings the ANA Board
will consider whether to proceed with earlier announced
plans for expanding the museum facilities at its Colorado
Springs, Colorado headquarters and whether to continue
the association's participation in development of the
American Money and Gold Rush Museum at the old mint
building in San Francisco."
