This page is about the history of past PNNA conventions and coin shows. For current information, please see Events.
The PNNA has held an annual convention most years since its founding in 1940. Prior to 2001, the conventions were usually in a different city each year. Many conventions had souvenirs which are listed in the memorabilia catalog.
Conventions typically feature a variety of activities including meetings and educational programs, but always include a numismatic bourse, better known as a “coin show.” In recent years, the PNNA has added a fall coin show, sometimes in conjunction with the Willamette Coin Club in Portland, and sometimes referred to as a “Mini-Con.”
Beginning in 2001, the PNNA conventions and coin shows have all been held in either Tukwila, Washington, or Portland, Oregon. These events have been documented and reported as follows:
