The Hidalgo Coin Club was established in 1960 and is the oldest coin club in the Rio Grande Valley. It has had many meeting locations since, and today gathers in the Conference Room of the McAllen Chamber of Commerce. The club covers District 14 of the Texas Numismatic Association — ten counties and South Padre Island.
Membership spans the Valley, Mexico, and the northern states. Several members cross the border each month to attend meetings and shows, making this an international coin club. From November through March the club swells with the arrival of collecting friends who spend the winter in the Valley — the Winter Texans.
Beyond the monthly meeting, the club sponsors two coin shows a year, a monthly Friday Night Coin Show with guest presenters, a lending numismatic library, and an annual awards banquet each December. The club celebrated its 50th anniversary on December 16, 2010.
Visitors are welcome at any meeting. Come early, bring a coin you're curious about, and stay for the auction.
