Seventy-five coin dealers set up inside the Cajundome Convention Center for the inaugural Lafayette Coin Show, which took place Friday, September 11, and Saturday, September 12, 2026. The event gave local collectors a chance to buy, sell, and trade rare U.S. and foreign currency, bullion, and estate jewelry without leaving Lafayette.
According to CAJUNDOME, the event offers free public admission. The commercial scale of the floor is significant for a first-year show: US Coin Shows reports roughly 75 dealers covering everything from rare coins to bullion to estate jewelry, giving visitors room to compare offers and seek appraisals across a single weekend. NOLA.com also featured the show, noting it spotlighted antiques, rare coins from the United States and around the world, and jewelry as part of its inaugural run, according to NOLA.com.
