The British Numismatic Trade Association is an association formed by a majority of the leading
United Kingdom coin dealers. Originally formed to represent the trade in discussions with
UK Customs & Excise regarding
value-added tax on coins, it has developed, becoming a part of the fight against forgery, theft and other criminal activities. This helped to establish a benchmark for the highest
ethical standards in the domestic coin trade. Members receive early warning notices of
counterfeit coins and stolen property.
