Abstract
Each year, National Coin Week, the third week in April, brings together coin enthusiasts in honor of one of the world's oldest and most popular pastimes. Numismatics, the study and collecting of coins, draws a large following with a variety of interests. Some have specific interests, such as primitive monies, error coins, counterfeits, or commemoratives. Others study coins for the insight they offer into art, royalty, military history, or politics and economics. Regardless of the reason, coin collectors have an important role. As precious metals disappear from coins, and coin usage decreases, the history represented by coins may become the province of the collector.

Abstract
This is a resource guide for librarians who wish to gather books and other materials to use in promoting National Women's History Week or, as it will be soon, National Women's History Month. The emphasis is on history rather than on current women's issues. Most of the materials cited have appeared within the past ten years, but a few important older works are included as well.
