Numismatics International (NI) was established in April 1964 and has members located worldwide. NI is the largest and most active numismatic organization in the world which excludes the sale, trade, discussion or display of coins and currency of the United States of America. This allows a focus to study and collect other countries and regions in the world.

The Objectives of Numismatics International are to:

• Encourage and promote the science of numismatics by specializing in areas and nations other than the United States of America;
• Cultivate fraternal relations among collectors and numismatic students;
• Encourage and assist new collectors;
• Foster the interest of youth in numismatics;
• Stimulate and advance affiliations among collectors and kindred organizations;
• Acquire, share and disseminate numismatic knowledge.
