California State Numismatic Association
CSNA is dedicated to the promotion of
numismatic study and to bringing California’s coin collecting community
together with informative programs of interest.
California has more coin, medal, token, and currency collectors than any
other state in the nation, and CSNA is the State's largest numismatic organization.
CSNA Membership Benefits and Sponsored Activities include:
