Welcome to JP Ford Coin and Currency: Your Go-To Destination for Coin Collectors and Currency Enthusiasts

At JP Ford Coin and Currency, we’re proud to be the largest coin shop in the Myrtle Beach area, and a premier destination for collectors, investors, and enthusiasts. Our father-and-son business is built on a shared passion for numismatics, with a curated selection of coins and currency that appeals to every level of interest, from first-time collectors to experienced investors.

Our story began with Joseph Ford, whose fascination with coins sparked during a kindergarten show-and-tell featuring his father’s Confederate note. That spark turned into a lifelong passion, and alongside his father Walter, Joseph opened JP Ford Coin and Currency at just 16 years old. Together, they’ve built a business focused on integrity, trust, and personalized service that you won’t find in other shops.

Our new, full-service coin shop in Longs, SC, now serves as the hub of our operations. Here, we offer an inviting, educational experience for our community, helping each customer make informed decisions and guiding them through every step of their numismatic journey. As a father-son team, we bring a unique, personal touch to every transaction, offering insights and expertise honed over years of dedication.

Whether you’re seeking rare and historical pieces, adding to your collection, or exploring the potential of coin investment, JP Ford Coin and Currency is your trusted source in the Myrtle Beach area and beyond. Visit us at our new Longs location and become part of a community that celebrates the rich world of numismatics, where every piece tells a story, and every visit feels like coming home.
