Currently, I am a member of the Omaha Coin Club. The Coin Club is the oldest club of it's kind in Nebraska, having been organized in 1934. It's mission is to "encourage and promote study and interest in the science of munismatis and cultivat friendly relantions among collectors, students and dealers." They have monthly meetings every third Friday at the Douglas/Sarpy County 4-H building.
At the meetings, there is a Y.N. meeting and then a business meeting. There is a member drawing for $5 as well as a drawing for several prizes such as coins, paper money, and mint products. After this, there is normally a presentation given by one of the members about a certain type of coin. (Did I mention that there are treats??) There is also a silent auction every month and a few dealers who sit in the back and sell coins. The membership is made up of mostly older people, and they are all willing to talk to you and offer you much of the knowledge that they have. I thoroughly enjoy each of the meetings! I hope that some day that you will come to one of the meetings! Here is the price for membership:

They are some of the nicest people I have met during my time in Omaha. Down to earth and willing to share their interests.
