The American Numismatic Society, founded in 1858, is a non-profit international center for the preservation and study of coins, medals and paper money, representing more than 2,500 years of culture. The ANS collection contains almost one million objects and spans all periods and geographic areas, including Greek and Roman, medieval and modern European, American, Islamic, Asian and African coins, as well as other materials. In addition, the ANS has the world's finest numismatic library, which also contains non-numismatic monographs and references on history, art, economics, language and culture. Both the collection and the library are available to the public. During the summer of 2008 The American Numismatic Society will be relocating to One Hudson Square, situated in one of Manhattan's most vibrant and easily accessible neighborhoods. The new facilities located in lower Manhattan at the corner of Varick, Grand and Canal Streets, will be ideally located to implement all elements of its mission by improving member services, promoting scholarship and exhibitions, and organizing more lectures and conferences.
