In May of 2026 at the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists (PAN) Coin Show, we introduced "10 Tumultuous Years" as the theme for our new series of numismatic, nautical, and economic civics educational programs. Our 10 Tumultuous Years exhibits there focused on the connections between the California Gold Rush, 1857 Coinage Act, the 1857 sinking of the S.S. Central America, and the massive monetary changes impacting the U.S. Civil War.
OUR FIRST VIDEO FROM PAN….ENJOY!
See our newest VIDEO Featuring Dennis Boggs (President Lincoln) interviewed by 10 Tumultuous Years team member, Rebecca Rush. Our "What Was In Your Pockets" interview started with Abe's earliest days in Indiana…and walked through the many changes in U.S. Monetary Policy that are attributed to Lincoln, right through to discussing the Confederate currency in his pocket at the Ford's Theater.
