On Our Own Account: CoinsWeekly Takes a Moment to Reflect

CoinsWeekly will be taking a break from July 4 to September 15, 2025, to perfect and implement its new concept. Look forward to opinionated commentary and in-depth numismatic information, when CoinsWeekly is back again after September 15! Ursula Kampmann explained the reasons for this in her editorial on July 3.

Dear Coin Enthusiasts,

The recent months, I have been preoccupied with thinking about the changes we are witnessing. This includes, for example, the fact that CoinsWeekly is no longer the only one presenting you with the latest information from the world of coins every week. Countless newsletters now exist in a wide variety of languages. When we started, we were the first. Today, there is no museum, no coin dealer, no mint, no numismatic magazine that doesn’t use this simple, inexpensive, and effective tool to optimize customer loyalty.

General Data Protection Regulation and artificial intelligence are two other topics that are bothering us. With its new AI, Google answers even the most obscure numismatic question – often with the help of one of our articles (although not always correctly).

This has consequences, including for us. Many coin dealers ask themselves why they should spend money on advertising. And you know: We live exclusively from advertising revenue. Fortunately, there are still many enthusiastic coin dealers, and mints who provide us with the necessary resources to ensure that CoinsWeekly’s often critical voice can be heard. We want it to stay that way for many years to come.

That’s why we’re giving ourselves a moment to reflect. We’ll be taking a summer break until September 15th, during which we’ll redesign CoinsWeekly to meet current needs. The new CoinsWeekly will focus on opinionated commentary and numismatic information. Quality over quantity, class instead of mass. Food for thought for an interested readership who cares about numismatics. Articles that you’ll only find here and nowhere else. That’s where we want CoinsWeekly to go.

We’re adapting to changing user habits and search engine algorithms. Because I’ve learned one thing in the many years I’ve been involved: Even in numismatics, those who don’t embrace change have no chance in the long run. And CoinsWeekly is known for not only embracing change, but sometimes even driving it forward.

Look forward to the new CoinsWeekly when the numismatic autumn begins!
