Within the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association, founding member Jerome Remick suggested or initiated a number of significant changes.
He recommended establishing a fellowship, encouraged the then CNA, now RCNA, to adopt a bilingual logo, and suggested creating the Young Numismatists Kit.
[1] At the RCNA Annual Convention in Ottawa, ON from July 17–20, the membership ratified a name change to The Royal Canadian Numismatic Association,[2] and the royal grant of title awarded by Queen Elizabeth II in October 2007.
The convention includes educational seminars, both competitive and non-competitive educational display presentations, including a display by Canada's National Currency Museum ( a unit of the Bank of Canada), local tours, mint tours when available, specialty club meetings, luncheons, and an awards banquet.
Other RCNA publications include: Members can borrow books and other materials from the CNA's library by mail.
Coordinating Editor of this project was Paul Johnson, while the Core Committee consisted of Brian Cornwell, Scott Douglas, Dr. Marvin Kay, Paul Petch and John Regitko and with special mention of the work by Barry McIntyre.
The financial support for this project was attributed to Albert Kasman, and NESA, a then available Canadian educational and charitable organization.
The Royal Canadian Numismatic Correspondence Course - Part II consists of seventeen chapters, 486 pages and hundreds of photos.
In 1990, the executive committee of the C.N.A established a member service award: Fellow – Royal Canadian Numismatic Association.
While the Certificate of Award could have listed Mr. Charlton's significant contributions to the Association, it reads simply “For Long Term, Meritorious Service to the R.C.N.A.” [8] The criteria for the award is for long-term, meritorious service or major contributions to the RCNA.
