Welcome to ACE

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.

"Pone historiam in manus discipulorum tuorum"

The 100 Greatest Ancient Coins Teacher Contest

ImageOne 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.
