Welcome to the BECC!
The Boeing Employees' Coin Club (BECC) is one of
the most active coin clubs in the Pacific Northwest region. Per the BECC
Constitution and Bylaws, "We, the Boeing Employees' Coin Club, are organized in
a spirit of friendliness and good fellowship to share the pleasures of coin
collecting." The BECC also contributes to the objectives and purposes of
the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association —
"to promote, extend, and protect the interests of numismatists and numismatic
activities throughout the Pacific Northwest and to foster and encourage the
study of numismatics in all its forms."
The BECC publishes a monthly newsletter (the BECC News), holds an
annual coin show in January, mints an
annual commemorative medal featuring a Boeing product,
and promotes numismatics through special programs and activities such as the
numismatic display at the Puyallup Fair
each September.
