Building on the momentum and relationships established during last year’s Hawaii State Numismatic Association Coin Expo, we are now preparing a coordinated statewide campaign to introduce and pass GET-exemption legislation in the 2027 session. We are re-engaging the original sponsors of HB 1724 from 2024, along with other supportive lawmakers, and we are actively seeking Hawaii-based leaders and grassroots advocates who are ready to help move this bill across the finish line. If you live in Hawaii and would like to get involved—whether by serving as a local coordinator, testifying, contacting legislators, or simply helping spread the word—please contact us! #coins #coincollector #Hawaii #coindealer #numismatics

We’ve received multiple reports of a sophisticated phishing scam impersonating our organization and attempting to steal members’ financial information. The fraudulent emails claim that an NCBA membership payment is “past due” and pressure recipients to reply with payment details or confirmation documents. These messages are NOT from NCBA and are part of an active criminal phishing campaign. No legitimate NCBA membership is currently past due; all 2025 memberships are paid through December 31, 2025. Official reminders for lapsed 2026 memberships will begin in January and will only be sent through verified NCBA channels. For more information, please view the most recent article under “Community News” on our website.

Hawaii still taxes coins, currency, and precious metals—raising costs for collectors, dealers, and investors, and putting local businesses at a disadvantage. NCBA is working to change that. Our executive director, David Crenshaw, will be at the Hawaii State Numismatic Association Coin Show this week, giving a presentation on Saturday afternoon! Come learn how Hawaii’s tax policies compare to other states, why this issue matters to collectors and dealers, and how you can take action to support the campaign. #coins #Hawaii #hsna #coinshow

Your participation and engagement are invaluable to our growth and success. Please RSVP by November 30th if you plan to attend, so we can ensure there’s enough space for everyone.

We’ve received reports that some members are getting scam emails claiming to offer NCBA member or distribution lists for sale. These messages are fraudulent. NCBA never sells or shares its membership or convention attendee lists with third parties. If you receive one of these emails, do not engage — avoid replying, clicking any links, or downloading attachments. You can also report suspected scams to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. #scam #coins #alert

New Mexico is still one of the few states without exemptions for coins or bullion. NCBA members Andrew and Shane Hoffman of Santa Fe Coins & Jewelry had originally planned a campaign for the 2026 legislative session. However, with a new governor taking office in 2027, the coalition is weighing whether to move the effort to that year, when fresh leadership may provide a stronger opportunity for success. In the meantime, we’re helping advocates keep momentum strong with tools like our No Sales Tax poster, petition, and outreach flyers. Together, we can build the support needed for victory! Want to get involved? Contact us and we’ll put you in touch with Andrew and Shane. #Coins #News #NewMexico #CoinDealer
