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
Meeting Dates and Locations! The BCCOCO previously met alternate months in Redmond and Bend. Currently no Redmond location is available, so meetings are in Bend only. Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday, unless otherwise announced. The current Bend location is the Community room (clubhouse) at Suntree Village, 1001 SE 15th St., Bend, OR. For driving directions and additional meetings, see the meetings calendar page.
Next meeting: Tuesday, December 10 at Suntree Village. Annual Christmas/Holiday party and potluck. Meeting will also include show-and-tell, raffle and auction. Get the auction form.
At some club meetings, there will be a camera and light available to take photos like the ones you see below! Please inquire if interested. See completed meetings.
Charter
What is our charter? — Per the BCCOCO constitution, “The purpose of this organization shall be to study and support the hobby of numismatics; to promote numismatic-related educational activities; to disseminate numismatic knowledge through regular meetings.” In doing so, the BCCOCO contributes to the mission of the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association (PNNA) to “promote, extend, and protect the interests of numismatists and numismatic activities throughout the Pacific Northwest and to foster and encourage the study of numismatics in all its forms.”
Activities
What do we do? — In addition to maintaining this web site, the BCCOCO publishes a monthly newsletter, has monthly meetings, and promotes numismatics through special programs, activities and awards.
