SPMC gratefully acknowledges reciept of a gift of $5,000 from the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Society, and another of the same amount from the National Currency Foundation. Both gifts will be earmarked toward the Society's mission of Education, Research and Outreach (ERO).

"The timing could not be better." said SPMC President Shawn Hewitt.  "As we begin the overhaul of our education efforts, these gifts will help to put more funds into the hands of capable researchers and support our expanded presence at major shows."

SPMC will again have a presence at the Florida United Numismatists show in Tampa, Florida on January 4-7, 2018, including a talk by Wendell Wolka.  Click here for show information.  We will be located at table 1911 on the convention floor.  Please feel free to stop by to talk banknotes or whatever is on your mind.

SPMC board member Joshua Herbstman has generously donated a 1918 Liberty Loan Bond to SPMC, to be sold at auction by Lyn Knight at the 2017 International Paper Money Show in Kansas City.

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing yesterday of Chester L. Krause, a founding member of the SPMC, a member of the Hall of Fame, friend and mentor to innumerable collectors and their brethren, but most importantly, a numismatic pioneer and a man of incomparable generousity.
