The RCNA was formed in 1950, incorporated in 1963, with Articles of Continuance under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act in 2014. Conceived by a few dedicated numismatists, we have grown to become Canada’s national numismatic association, with members located worldwide all sharing a common interest: money collecting and numismatics.
