The Manitoba Coin Club is set to host its annual Spring Coin & Collectible Show on April 25 at the East Selkirk Community Centre, offering a full day dedicated to numismatics and collecting for enthusiasts of all ages.
The event will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will feature a wide range of dealers from across Manitoba showcasing collections that span centuries — from ancient coins to modern currency, along with paper money, stamps and other unique collectibles.
A highlight of this year’s show will be the presence of the Royal Canadian Mint, which will offer its popular coin exchange. Attendees will have the opportunity to obtain newly released collectible circulation coins directly from the Mint’s production line.
“We’re excited to welcome collectors and the public back for another great show,” said Larry Dalman. “Whether you’re a seasoned numismatist or just curious, there’s something here for everyone.”
Organizers say the show continues to grow, with an increased focus on youth engagement to help foster the next generation of collectors.
“One of our biggest priorities is growing interest among young people,” Dalman added. “By expanding our youth programming, we’re helping ensure the hobby continues for generations to come.”
Coins have long played a role in documenting history, from marking major world events and Olympic Games to commemorating cultural icons. Today’s collectible coins often feature themes ranging from pop culture, including Marvel and Disney, to significant national milestones.
In addition to browsing dealer tables, visitors can look forward to door prizes and educational opportunities throughout the day. Admission will also include a chance to obtain passes for a tour of the Royal Canadian Mint, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary since opening its Winnipeg facility.
The show also comes ahead of a major event for collectors, as the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association prepares to host its national convention in Winnipeg from July 14 to 18.
“This show is about more than just coins — it’s about history, storytelling and community,” Dalman said. “Every item has a story behind it.”
Organizers encourage collectors, families and curious newcomers alike to attend and discover the stories behind coins and collectibles from around the world.
