0-89722-252-0.PrefaceCanada's money provided the subject for the eighth annual Coinage of
the Americas Conference sponsored by the American Numismatic Society. Since its inception,
this program has enjoyed the enthusiastic support of the Society's governing Council as a
forum for the dissemination of emerging research in the coinage and currency of North and
South America.The purpose of these conferences is to facilitate the exchange of
information. Toward this end, experts in the field are invited to present papers,
collectors are invited to exhibit, and notice of the conference is circulated widely to
encourage attendance by all interested in the topic. The Society also mounts an exhibition
from its holdings and invites registrants to come to know the Society's collections and
library better during the days of the conference.A special exhibit of Canadian money was
organized by Anthony Terranova with the assistance of modern curator Dr. John Kleeberg and
registrar Katharina Eldada. This exhibit showed selections from the collections of Joseph
Lasser, Anthony Terranova, George Cuhaj, and Normand Pepin, plus examples from the
collection of the ANS. A special exhibit on the Canada 125 Coin Program was provided
through the courtesy of the Royal Canadian Mint.HODDER, MICHAEL. An American Collector's
