NNP

Among 21 presenters at this year's NNP Symposium, U.S. Mint Director Paul Hollis took center stage with remarks surrounding the Semiquincentennial coinage programs. Additionally, Hollis responded to numerous questions from attendees, both in the room and online. Local media including the Daily Herald and FOX32 News covered the event. At the conclusion of his talk, Central States Numismatic Society (CSNS) president Mitch Ernst presented Hollis with the 2026 Q. David Bowers award for lifetime service to numismatics.

Video from all NNP Symposium sessions will be posted in 2-3 weeks. The NNP Symposium is sponsored by the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society and produced by Lianna Spurrier of Numismatic Marketing.
