CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.

CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here

    I have to admit - I really have enjoyed the 'State Quarter' program as well as the Westward Journey Nickel series. It has been fun to search through your change and see what new designs you might have in your pocket. It has also been fun to critique the designs of each state. Some have been duds - while others are very impressive designs. Plus - having so many designs has made for a multitude of die varieties and different looking clashes. And I think there are many out there that have yet to be discovered.

    That said -- I think the mint is getting a little carried away (perhaps seeing the $$ rewards for selling extra mint products). Next year begins the add-on to the quarter program for U.S. Territories, D.C., etc. -- we have the commemorative Lincoln cents coming out - and the next batch of presidential dollars will hit the streets. U.S. coinage went from being nearly unchanged from decade to decade to having up to 5 designs per year for some denominations.

    Maybe I'm just an old 'stick-in-the-mud' - but it is too much action for me. I'd prefer no more than one design change per year for each denomination.

          At least the 2009 Sacagawea Dollar will only change the reverse once a year.

            Territories and DC make sense in context to the State designs, it's the (I think I read this correctly) further 10 year quarter reverses commemorating state parks, etc that seems a bit excessive to me. Next we'll have a commem reverse on the dime to mark a street corner in Molene Illinois where a much larger than usual pile of newspapers stood on November 8, 1933.

              And after the street corner in Molene will come the street corner in D.C., where they will pile all the bills authorizing new coinage.
