Welcome!
The Bend Coin Club of Central Oregon (BCCOCO) is a vibrant local coin club serving the Central Oregon region, including the cities of Bend and Redmond. The BCCOCO was founded in 2008, and welcomes all numismatists — persons who study, collect, or deal with coins, paper money, tokens and medals.
The BCCOCO is proud to present bendcoinclub.org, our home on the World Wide Web! This site is updated at least monthly to bring you accurate and up-to-date information about numismatics in the region. BCCOCO members are also available to help answer your questions about numismatics. Please don’t hesitate to ask us a question!
This is our new WordPress site, which is currently a work in progress. If you need any information or images from the old site, please ask Eric, [email protected].
Meetings
