The PNNA sponsors an annual contest whereby local clubs can win monetary awards for promotion of National Coin Week (NCW). Each year the ANA selects a theme for NCW to suggest different ways to promote the hobby.

The ANA has announced its 2013 NCW theme: Buffalo Nickel Centennial: Black Diamond Shines Again. As noted by the ANA, "A century ago, the United States Mint was preparing to release what would become one of the country's best-loved coin designs. A North American bison named Black Diamond likely served as the model for the coin's iconic reverse."

The 90th annual National Coin Week is April 21-27, 2013.

Local clubs are encouraged to take this opportunity to enhance their club treasury by preparing an eye popping exhibit and displaying it in their local community.

Local clubs that participate should send their information to the attention of Danny Bisgaard, c/o Skip Caldwell, PO Box 2051, Salem, OR 97308. Information should include pictures of the display and a written narrative on where the display was placed as well as other activities the club did to promote NCW. Deadline for information is April 30, 2013.
