Ancient Coins for Education, Inc. (ACE) was established in 2001 as a registered non-profit organization to encourage learning about Classical (Greek, Roman, and Byzantine) history through the use of ancient numismatics. ACE provides coins to students for their study and attribution with the help of online and computer resources.
ACE is run by volunteers and works primarily with middle and high schools (both public and private), with some elementary schools and universities also participating in specially directed versions of the program. Though the coins that ACE furnishes to these educational establishments are typically of lower monetary value, they provide a basis for unique, hands-on study of the ancient world. ACE lends assistance to creative school activities, such as Ancient Coin Museums and Archaeological Simulation projects, which encourage students' interest in ancient history.

 As icy weather spread across most States in the Union, ACE Teachers had just received a marvellous book to read on their “ Snow days” . Thanks to noted numismatic author, Wayne Sayles, and the generous donation of his book “Ancient Coin Collecting”, teachers could both relax in the warmth and make new Lesson Plans! His book has great coin images and is brimming over with illustrated background information on Roman, Greek, Biblical and other ancient coins of all types...
It is the sort of book you keep on your desk with Post it stickers on the pages giving the timeline of all Roman and Byzantine Emperors, listing of all Roman and Greek Deities and Personifications, Greek and Latin alphabets, maps of different regions, etc - You want to see Homer on a coin, various Alexander the Great coins, an Athenian owl, Elephants on various coins, Biblical coins, Parthian coins, Baktrian coins, Celtic coins and so on.... they are all there for teachers to see and show their students. This was an unprecedented opportunity, especially for teachers who are fairly new to ancient coins... we have never been able to offer such a wonderful educational resource... ACE is indeed endebted to Wayne Sayles for his utmost generosity - such an opportunity is rare for teachers.

 One of America's premier numismatists and dealers Harlan J. Berk
recently offered Ancient Coins for Education ten copies of his newest
book "The One Hundred Greatest Ancient Coins" for distribution to
teachers associated with the ACE program. The book is a gorgeous
compilation, each of these wonderful coins getting at least a full page
of this oversized volume to display a large image of the coin selected,
its history and often a history of the numismatic research behind the
coin.
Our teachers submitted essays on the topic of "The Most Important
Ancient Coin to Me", nine of which were selected to receive a copy of
the book, with one copy being held in reserve for a deserving student.
Ancient Coins for Education would like to thank Mr. Berk for his
generosity and to congratulate the teachers receiving a copy of this
attractive and useful reference.
