CoinsWeekly’s Numismatic Directory
by Ursula Kampmann
Anyone who reads CoinsWeekly knows how much I love to travel. I love discovering the world through numismatics. And time and time again, I have the unpleasant experience of finding out about the numismatic highlights I have missed only after my trip. This frustration inspired me to create the Numismatic Directory. It is designed to help all coin enthusiasts – and those who want to become one – to find what they are interested in.

What Is the Numismatic Directory?
The Numismatic Directory presents places of numismatic interest from various categories all over the world. You will find:
- Coin dealers & auction houses
- Coin shows & coin fairs
- Numismatic service providers
- Museums & coin cabinets
- Academic institutions
- Associations
- Central banks
- Mints
- Numismatic sights
We include ANY location in our guide as long as it falls into one of these categories. For a small fee, coin dealers and other businesses can present themselves to the community with a detailed entry in the Numismatic Directory. We use these contributions to fund the expansion of our project. All non-profit organisations such as museums & coin cabinets, academic institutions and associations benefit from this: they can present themselves to our users with texts and images free of charge.
Step by Step
The world is a big place and we will never be able to realise our ambitious project alone. BUT: No publication has a broader international network than CoinsWeekly! That’s why we need everyone’s help to expand the Numismatic Directory step by step. Would you like to help? Then please read on.
We know that many CoinsWeekly readers gladly contribute to the numismatic community. We experience this time and again. For example, Howard Berlin – known as The Numismatourist – has allowed us use the texts of his numismatic travel guide free of charge when he learned about our project. Therefore, we are already in a position to present some of the world’s most important coin cabinets and money museums of the world to you. Thank you very much to Numismatourist Howard Berlin!
Become a Coin Scout!
Would you like to help with CoinsWeekly’s major project of the Numismatic Directory? Nothing could be easier! Become a Coin Scout!
Coin Scouts do not keep their numismatic discoveries to themselves. They share them with other collectors by sending us the address and perhaps even a photo. We regularly present the most beautiful numismatic places at CoinsWeekly.
Please tell Aleksandar Brzic, who helps us compile our Numismatic Directory, about your numismatic discoveries.

Sponsor Your Favourite Region!
We are realists. Coin Scouts can help, but they can’t do all the work. And our team is too small to cover the whole world at once. That’s why we take a regional approach, including one numismatic centre at a time. In this way, we can fill in the blank spots on our map one by one. The first three regions we will introduce to you are Vienna, Madrid and Frankfurt.
How the journey continues depends on you. We need sponsors to help us include a particular region. To do this, we first need a small amount of money. And then, of course, we need a little help. After all, if you love a particular region, then you will certainly know about its numismatic attractions and can help us look in the right places. Especially when it comes to regions that are far away from us in Central Europe, we need your help.
If you would like to know more about sponsorship opportunities, please contact Andrea Pancheri, who will be happy to explain what this entails
And now: Join us on our adventure of the Numismatic Directory! Let us discover numismatic places all over the world, and fill in the blank spots on the numismatic map!
