About BNS

The purpose of the Brantford Numismatic Society (BNS) is to encourage and promote the collection and study of coins, tokens, paper money, medals, badges, trade money, and other currency related collectibles; and to cultivate fraternal relations among collectors.

 



BNS will celebrate 50 years in 2010 and are considering various plans including a commemorative medal. Our 30th Anniversary medal had a beautiful sketch of Pauline Johnson.
