Tokyo International Coin Convention (TICC) 2026
May 19, 2026
Japan is a world unto itself, with its own set of rules. These also apply to the Tokyo International Coin Convention (TICC). Not only is the event superbly organised, but the organisers also expect all participants to abide by the established rules. The opening ceremony therefore takes place in complete tranquillity, without the waiting crowd disrupting the formal proceedings. Everyone queues up obediently everywhere, whether it’s for a special issue coin on offer or the popular tickets for the numismatic lottery. No one pushes in. The dealers stand behind their tables at the designated times; no one leaves early, but everyone waits until the end of the event. And then everyone clears away their own rubbish, sorted by material, and takes it to the designated collection point. What is taken for granted in Japan is something many German trade fair organisers can only dream of.
