The NYC Geographic section of ACRL/NY is pleased to offer two tours in one to ACRL/NY members. The event will begin at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where participants will get a guided tour of the exhibit "Drachmas, Doubloons, and Dollars: The History of Money." Participants will then proceed to the American Numismatic Society Library for a guided tour of its new headquarters.

The exhibit "Drachmas, Doubloons, and Dollars: The History of Money" is international as well as global in scope. Over 800 pieces from the American Numismatic Society's collection are on display. "Every coin and paper bill can be a work of art, a political messenger, or a piece of jewelry. By looking at the money of many cultures and periods, we not only learn about their histories and attitudes, but we also gain a better understanding of how our own money works and what it says about our own culture and history." (from http://numismatics.org/html/exhibits)

The American Numismatic Society moved into a new building in late 2008. Its library houses one of "the world's most comprehensive collections of numismatic literature, presently numbers some 100,000 items. These include books, periodicals, manuscripts, photographs, pamphlets, auction catalogs, and microforms, all of which are cataloged. In addition to numismatic works, the Library includes a strong reference collection and a wide selection of non-numismatic periodicals in the areas of archaeology, art history, economic history and other disciplines. " (from http://numsimatics.org)

Please RSVP to Anne Leonard at aleonard@citytech.cuny.edu. Participants should RSVP by Tuesday, May 12.
All will need a government-issued photo ID for entry into the Federal Reserve Bank.
