The Lower Cape Fear Coin Club will be hosting the Azalea Festival Coin Show.

Here's what to know about the show.

What's happening?

The Lower Cape Fear Coin Club in association with the Azalea Festival will host the Azalea Festival Coin Show. The club has over 85 members and has been in Wilmington since 1963 and has been associated with the Azalea Festival for 48 years.

The club works with the Azalea Festival and awards coin prizes to the Youth Art and Literature contestants. Art contests are used by the US Mint to select the designs for coin programs like America the Beautiful, National Parks quarters, Innovation dollars and now the Outstanding Women on quarters.

The club will be honoring the Azalea Festival's 2025 International Blooms' Country - Nigeria, with an elaborate display of Nigerian currency.

Foreign coins are abundant, and many have unique animal and historical designs, but American money dominates the displays. The most collected American coin is the silver eagle, followed by Peace and Morgan silver dollars.

When is the coin show?

The show will be held Saturday, April 5, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 5102 Oleander Drive, Wilmington.

Admission

Admission to the show is a $1 donation that earns you a raffle ticket for 10 prizes. Azalea Festival Ambassadors will draw the tickets on Sunday afternoon. You do not have to be present to win.
