THE COIN CONFERENCE

The Coin Conference starts from 28-30 October 2024. The Coin Conference examines how countries use circulating coins in their currency strategies, including design, security, production costs, and management. Participants from 23 countries ranked factors like public perception, prestige, and security, showing changing views over the workshop. Coins, like banknotes, serve as a nation’s "calling card" and have a growing international market for commemorative issues. These coins celebrate cultural events and achievements, influencing public perception and generating revenue. However, the success of commemorative coins depends on selecting themes that appeal to collectors. The conference also touches on the relevance of cash, cryptocurrencies and CBDCs .
