Members of the American Numismatic Association can download free applications that allow them to read The Numismatist on Apple's iPhone and iPad. Now you can read the hobby's premier monthly magazine anywhere, anytime�and get the best in numismatic education and entertainment.

Says Barbara J. Gregory, �editor-in-chief of The Numismatist, "We are very excited about making the popular digital edition of the magazine available to iPhone and iPad users. The introduction of this valuable, new member benefit shows the Association's commitment to improving services and keeping up with technology."

Obtaining the new applications is easy: simply go to www.apple.com/iphone/apps-for-iphone and select "Free Apps" from the menu in the righthand column. Type "Numismatist" in the search window in the top right corner of the page, and you will find two applications: "The Numismatist" (iPhone) and "The Numismatist HD" (iPad). Then follow Apple's download instructions.

The new apps deliver the full, rich experience iPhone and iPad users expect. Accessing the magazine is just as easy as it is online, with full search capabilities and archives. The app is for use only on Apple products; however, similar �applications for Android devices are on the horizon.

Anyone can download the free application, but only ANA members can read complete �issues of The Numismatist. Use your e-mail address (the one on record with the ANA) as your login, and your ANA member number (numerals only) as your password. (Note that your login and password for the online magazine do not work with the iPhone/iPad apps.) Those who share an e-mail address with a spouse or child who also is an ANA member must provide the Membership Department with a unique address. If you need to verify your e-mail address as it appears in ANA records, contact membersonly@money.org.
