Since its inception in 1977, the International Paper Money Show is known only as “Memphis” to the fraternity of collectors and dealers that cherishes this time-honored tradition as the granddaddy of our hobby.
The biggest and the best of all currency collectors have made the trek to Mecca – I mean Memphis – to share their passion for paper money. It is that passion and the treasure hunt for notes, educational events, meetings, SPMC breakfast, bourse floor, auctions, exhibits and camaraderie that keep collectors coming back.

Thanks for providing short videos of numismatic scene.
Would suggest trying to interview more clients – not only the trade.
More background on which particular collecting areas are in major demand – and which not – from each individual dealer would be welcome background information.
It is somewhat disconcerting for each dealer, except the dealer from Jordan, to say that the “market” is booming and the screen shots of the Memphis show of the Hall where the show is taking place is almost empty! Something seems not quite right here…
Of course, The HK numismatic shows are very busy and some of the European shows are also well attended.
