Central States enjoys encouraging young people to learn more about the hobby of coin collecting.  Through our State Showcase program we invite YN’s (young numismatists) to participate in our annual Scavenger Hunt and Trivia contest at our annual convention held in Schaumburg, IL.

 

Each year, on the final Saturday of our convention, we hold a YN Scavenger Hunt and ask kids (18 and younger) to find the trivia poster located around the bourse floor and answer specific questions about the information found on each poster.  When completed each participant receives a “goodie bag” full of materials to help them learn more about the hobby in general and the coins from the State in our state Showcase specifically including a Whitman publications Red Book.

 

The Scavenger hunt takes place Saturday morning from 10am to 2pm. 

​

YN's also receive discounted membership to CSNS!
