Numismatic News Videos
CoinNews provides TV coverage of numismatic news reports and other coin related videos. The vast majority of these videos are licensed for use through national and local media sources who have reported on numismatic events - they are created by CoinNews.
The interesting value is seeing the variety of information reported throughout the world. On the negative side, numismatic news is a specialized field so you never see daily or even weekly type coverage from the mainstream "TV" press.
That means some videos will be several months old and there are a limited number of them. Yet, that won't make them any less interesting.
