OLYMPIC PHILATELY, NUMISMATIC AND MEMORABILIA COMMISSION (OPNMC)

Collecting items commemorating the Olympic Games is not a new phenomenon. In fact, it started with the first Games of the modern era in 1896.

THE DISCIPLINES

Olympic stamps, issued to balance the budget of the Organising Committee, were the first objects of Olympic collecting, and have been the passion of several generations of philatelists. Collectors of Olympic memorabilia soon joined stamp collectors and in 1951, when Olympic coins were struck for the first time, coin enthusiasts also entered the world of Olympic collectors.
