Canada’s premier coin and banknote show returns Oct. 3-4, 2025, when the Toronto Coin Expo opens its doors at the Toronto Reference Library for two days of buying, selling and collecting.
More than 55 dealer tables will fill the downtown venue, offering Canadian, U.S. and world coins, banknotes, tokens, medals, militaria, gold, silver and jewelry. Collectors can buy, sell, trade and have items appraised.
The show runs Friday from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Admission is $6, while youth under 16 are admitted free.
Show owner Jared Stapleton says the fall expo continues to attract strong support from both dealers and collectors. “We have lots of dealers coming in from all over Canada,” he noted.
Live auctions will again be conducted during the evenings, with Alliance Coin & Banknote taking the podium Thursday and Geoffrey Bell Auctions hosting Friday’s sale. Highlights include material from the Robert Graham Collection Collection of Cartered Banknotes, a historic treaty medal and much more. “I’m sure Brian [Bell] and Sean (Isaacs) will highlight some great items,” Stapleton added.
A cornerstone of the expo is its Saturday morning youth program, which remains one of the most popular features.
“It’s always a sellout success,” said Stapleton. “We teach kids about coins and then hold a fun auction just for them. It’s completely free, and the feedback from parents is amazing. Even a month out, I already have people emailing me to sign up.” The program is supported the Canadian Association for Numismatic Education and the Canadian Association of Numismatic Dealers, whose contributions help fund both youth activities and educational initiatives.
Among the added attractions this fall is coin photography by Denis Richard of Coin Photography Studio, giving collectors the chance to professionally capture their prize collectibles. Stapleton emphasized the importance of hosting a major show in the heart of Toronto. “You have to have a Toronto show,” he said. “It’s a central location, and collectors really turn out. We’re thrilled to do it twice a year for the community.”
