The American Numismatic Association was founded by Dr. George F. Heath in 1891. The ANA was formed to advance the knowledge of numismatics along educational, historical and scientific lines, as well as enhance interest in the hobby.
The ANA national headquarters is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It claims a membership of over 30,000. In 1912 the association received a Federal Charter by the United States Congress for its work in the field of numismatics.
The association's official monthly journal is Numismatist.
Presidents
The head of the ANA is its President. Currently, a person may not hold the presidency for more than one term. They may, however, run for a seat on the board of governors after their presidency. No one may serve on the ANA board of governors (including the offices of president and vice president) for more than ten years.

- H. Robert Campbell, 1999-2001
