To address the mass proliferation of
counterfeits plaguing the U.S. marketplace, the Anti-Counterfeiting Educational
Foundation (www.ACEFonline.org) in partnership with the U.S. Treasury Department
and in cooperation with the American Numismatic Association will sponsor an
accredited seminar for local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
Entitled, Counterfeit Coins, Precious Metals, Numismatic and Financial Crime
Investigations, the eight-hour seminar will be conducted on Thursday, August 10,
during the ANA 2023 Pittsburgh World's Fair of Money® in the David L. Lawrence
Convention Center. Instructors for the seminar will be former Texas Police Chief Doug
Davis, Director of the ACEF Anti-Counterfeiting Task Force, and Chris Hersey, Senior
Special Agent in the Treasury Department's Office of the Inspector General.
ACEF Seminar February 2020
The curriculum during the 8:30 am to 4:30 pm seminar will provide law
enforcement attendees from across the country with the fundamental investigative
techniques, resources, knowledge and understanding to respond effectively to the
complex challenges encountered during the investigation of crimes related to counterfeit
coinage and precious metals as well as other numismatic and related financial crimes,
explained Davis.
To enhance the educational experience, attendees will be given hands-on
training and be introduced to the numismatic profession and collecting community by
having the opportunity to tour the bourse floor and bring back questions to the
classroom setting, he added.
The seminar is open only to law enforcement personnel. Tuition is free and
includes all training materials and a certificate of completion.
Registration forms and additional information can be obtained online at

by contacting Davis at
Doug@acefonline.org, or by calling 817-723-7231.
The Anti-Counterfeiting Educational Foundation and its volunteer task force of
rare coin and precious metals experts are supported entirely by donations. The ACEF is
a 501(c)(3) corporation, and all donations are tax deductible.
Let's hope for a great turnout - pass the word to contacts in law enforcement.
