PERIODICAL: ILNA DIGEST FALL 2025Bruce Perdue became the editor of the Illinois Numismatic Association's ILNA Digest in 2024. Here's the latest issue. -Editor Bruce writes: "I moved it from a small format magazine to a full page large magazine. The membership's response has been positive. The membership is approximately 200 hard copy and roughly 125 digital members." TABLE OF CONTENTS
Here's an excerpt from President John Kent's column. -Editor On a personal level, I"ve been teaching coin collecting classes at local community colleges, libraries, schools, park districts, and senior centers. It"s great outreach into the community and I"m sure some of our ILNA members have been doing the same. This year, I decided to offer 2 hour Saturday workshops for beginning and intermediate collectors at the College of DuPage and McHenry County Community College. I"ve also invited other numismatists to help with the classes and it"s my hope that they will start reaching out to their communities to provide numismatic education. Several of the students have attended local coin shows and joined coin clubs, participating in our numismatic community. ILNA is here to help you and your clubs create outreach into your local community, to provide numismatic education, and to grow your clubs membership. Coin Collecting is getting more popular! I counted 35 members at a recent coin club meeting in Elgin, including 7 women and 3 young numismatists. We had show & tell, raffles, auction and a presentation. Please reach out to ILNA if you need ideas to help your club grow! Congratulations on the new format, and thanks for the shout-outs to The E-Sylum and Newman Numismatic Portal. -Editor
