ANA DESTINATION EDUCATION 2011: CARSON CITY, NEVADA
Jay Beeton, Marketing & Education Director of the American Numismatic Association writes: Thanks so much for running Andy Lustig's account of the ANA's Destination Education program at the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. So you'll know, we're already planning our next Destination Education program March 20-23 in Carson City, Nevada, immediately following the Sacramento Spring National Money Show. I've attached some information on the program, although we're still working on some details (such as price and lodging). I also look forward to reading any suggestions for future sites from your readers.
Carson City sounds like a great destination for a numismatic seminar. Below are the details Jay forwarded.

Mark your calendars! March 20-23, 2011— Following the ANA National Money Show in Sacramento — Day one will be spent at the Nevada State Museum, formally the Carson City Mint. Lectures by authorities on all aspects of coining in Nevada will be presented.
If that isn't enough to entice you, Fred Holabird will lead a mine tour the following day in Virginia City. He will talk about the Comstock load, and make the West come alive! Questions? Contact us ... 719-482-9849 • education@money.org
Last week I suggested "a visit to the Philadelphia Mint, where Mercanti and his design team could show how the coin creation process works in the digital age.".
Maybe I was on to something...

Joe Boling writes: Somebody should push that idea of a post-convention seminar at the Mother Mint. Guess where the ANA convention is going to be in 2012?
I hadn't checked the schedule, but it sounds like a match made in heaven.
The ANA isn't the only numismatic organization holding seminars, so those who can't make Carson City next year have other options. -Editor Bruce Perdue adds: After reading about the ANA Seminar which was held after the ANA Convention I would like to point out that Central States Numismatic Society has been holding seminars at least twice a year and sometime more often. CSNS has a seminar scheduled for October in Hutchinson, Kansas. For complete information see www.centralstates.info/fallseminar.html . We are planning a seminar in Fort Wayne in April of 2011. The seminars are only $10 for members and $20 for non members (excluding any travel or lodging expense).
