The 2026 ANA World’s Fair of Money brought together one of the most remarkable combinations of coins, artifacts, auctions, and collectors seen at a U.S. numismatic convention in years.
More than 6,300 collectors, dealers, professionals, and families attended the five-day event at Pittsburgh’s David L. Lawrence Convention Center. The American Numismatic Association held the show from August 25 through August 29.
The sold-out bourse included 489 booths and more than 1,430 rare coin and paper money dealers, according to the ANA. Meanwhile, educational programs, major auctions, and museum-quality exhibits filled the convention schedule.
However, one display stood above the rest.
On August 28, the United States Mint placed all 11 government-owned 1933 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles together for the first time. The historic one-day exhibit turned one of America’s most famous coin stories into a centerpiece of the Pittsburgh convention.
Altogether, exhibits at the World’s Fair of Money contained more than $100 million in coins, paper money, and historic artifacts.
