Janelle Hulme – Coin Dealer & Numismatic Educator (Melbourne, Australia) Janelle Hulme is an Australian coin dealer and numismatic educator based in Melbourne. She is the founder and operator of Nova Coins, an online coin shop specialising in a wide range of collectible coins, banknotes, tokens, bullion, and accessories. Nova Coins evolved from Hulme’s popular social media persona, “NellieNovaCoins,” through which she began teaching both children and adults about coin collecting during the Melbourne lockdowns. Janelle (also known as Nellie) is known for making numismatics accessible to collectors of all ages and experience levels. Collectors and hobbyists often praise her approachable style and willingness to share knowledge, helping more people discover the joy of collecting and develop a passion for particular areas of numismatics. She actively participates in the Australian numismatic community by attending and exhibiting at major coin fairs and expos, including the Money Expo presented by the Australasian Numismatic Dealers Association (ANDA), of which she is an active member, as well as major collectable expos such as Collectfest.
