The Higgins Museum of National Banking will hold a special 2009 educational seminar dedicated to National Bank Note topics on Wednesday and Thursday, August 12‐13, 2009.

Featured speakers at the 2009 National Bank Note Seminar will be James Hughes, associate curator of the Smithsonian National Numismatic Collection; Don C. Kelly, author of the widely referenced National Bank Notes guide and census reference; Allen Mincho, the long time contributor of "NOTES on the Marketplace" appearing in Bank Note Reporter; and James C. Ehrhardt and Steven J. Sweeney, co‐authors of Iowa National Bank Notes, a pioneering reference work featuring a detailed census of that state's issues.

Joining with the Higgins Museum in sponsoring this seminar are the Central States Numismatic Society, the Professional Currency Dealers Association, and the Society of Paper Money Collectors, with support also provided by Bank Note Reporter. The registration fee for the seminar is $50, including a catered lunch and light snacks during breaks, or just $40 for members of the co‐sponsoring CSNS, PCDA and SPMC organizations.
