The Boeing Employees Coin Club encourages participation by all junior
collectors who have a sincere interest in the numismatic hobby. The Boeing
company-sponsored recreation program also encourages participation by eligible
family members in all of the Boeing recreation clubs.
Young numismatists, commonly referred to as "YN's" in the hobby, have the
opportunity to participate in BECC events as well as events sponsored by other
local coin clubs, by the Pacific Northwest
Numismatic Association, and by the American
Numismatic Association. At BECC regular meetings, YN's often receive
special donated prizes, and have the opportunity to earn additional prizes by
helping out as auction "runners" or by displaying numismatic items as part of
the club's monthly displays.
Come on in and join the fun and excitement of the numismatic hobby, while
perhaps learning something about art, economics, geography, history, politics
and science in the process!
ANA Electronic Newsletter for Young
Numismatists
“Your Newsletter,” an electronic communication device designed for Young
Numismatists (YNs), has been launched by the ANA. “We were looking for a way to
improve communication with YNs on an informal basis,” says ANA Education
Director Gail Baker, who is spearheading the project. “Many young collectors are
very conversant with the Internet and E-mail, and we think this weekly
newsletter is right up their alley.” Baker notes that the electronic
publication, named by long-time YN advisor Larry Gentile Sr., is designed to
keep YNs up-to-date on projects, events and activities offered by the ANA and
its member clubs. It also provides a forum for exchanging ideas, interests and
stories, and includes games, quizzes and special opportunities to earn “YN
Dollars” that can be spent - either in person or by mail bid - at special
auctions held for young numismatists every summer.
“Your Newsletter is a cooperative information
device,” Baker adds. “All young collectors and adults who work with YNs can have
the newsletter E-mailed directly to them, or they can read it on the
ANA’s web
site under "Communications." We advise our subscribers that
the newsletter is intended for personal or private use and commercial
distribution is prohibited.” To be included (or deleted) e-mail your request to
