Karen Foster, Lower Cape Fear Coin Club board member and treasurer, said the coin club started in 1963 and is made up of about 70 members. I love everything about it, Foster said. It s hard to choose just one thing. This is the public s chance to see currency from all backgrounds, even local paper money from the Civil War days.
The Coin Show has always been a part of the Azalea Festival, Foster said.
Foster said the Coin Show is not just for coin collectors. It s a fun place for families and kids as well, there is even a Kids Corner where kids can get out of the house, learn about coins and receive blank pennies, coin books, coloring books, games, and win prizes.
