Scouts earn merit badges at MNS clinic

The Milwaukee Numismatic Society sponsors a Boy Scout Coin Collecting Merit Badge Clinic in conjunction with the annual South Shore Coin Club coin show.

The clinic gives Boy Scouts a basic introduction to numismatics. Topics covered include the manufacture of coins and paper money, numismatic terminology, mints and mintmarks, the state quarter program, coin identification, grading and storage, paper currency and the Federal Reserve System.

To complete the requirements for the merit badge, scouts are required to bring with them specific coins from their collection.
