Young collectors can once again enjoy a fun-filled, hands-on experience at the National Postage Stamp & Coin Show’s Youth Auction on Sunday, April 6, 2025. Designed for kids under 16, this special event introduces young collectors to the exciting world of numismatics and philately in an engaging and interactive way.
The Youth Table and Auction are proudly presented by show organizers in collaboration with the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association (RCNA), led by RCNA Youth Co-ordinator Cassidy Stroud. On Auction Day, Stroud will be joined by dedicated volunteers Lisa and Robb, ensuring a fun and engaging experience for all young participants.
The event kicks off at 1 p.m. with a fun, short workshop on Transportation Tokens – a brief overview of what they are and how they were used.
Following the workshop, the Youth Auction begins! Each registered child will receive a bidding card and play money to join in the action, with a variety of coins, banknotes, and stamps up for grabs. The best part? Winners get to keep their items for free!
Parents are encouraged to join the fun and must register their children the day of, between 12 noon and 12:45 p.m. Pre-registration is also available by emailing Cassidy at:coin-kids@rcna.ca
Admission is free for parents and young participants.
