Miami Valley Coin Club

Coin Books at Dayton Metro Library

For the second year in a row, the Dayton-Kettering Coin Club is getting ready to donate numismatic books to the Dayton Metro Library. Using a program funded by the Central States Numismatic Societywe’re able to buy books and make them available to the public through our great local library system, helping people learn more about their coins and promoting involvement in the hobby. Last year, we contributed books like the Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, Numismatic Art in America,  The Authoritative Reference on Commemorative Coins, 1892 through 1954, and others. The Dayton Metro Library already had a good selection of books; we want to make it stronger.

The books we’ve donated are housed at the Wilmington Stroop Branch of the library, while other books are spread across the system. You don’t need to travel, though – the library is happy to bring the books to your local branch. Go on line at daytonmetrolibrary.org and look up the book you want want in the online catalog (might start with a search for coin collecting). You can then reserve the book and have it delivered to any one of the 20 branches across Montgomery County. If you don’t have a card, hustle down to the branch nearest you and pick one up, and then get ready to do some serious numismatic reading.
