The numbers are in:

"The American Numismatic Association's 2015 National Money Show welcomed a total of 4,592 people for the three-day event, held March 5-7 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon," a March 31 ANA release reads. 

ANA President Walter Ostromecki said attendance was slow to start but picked up as the weekend went on.

"Our Saturday attendance was particularly strong, with the public taking advantage of free admission and free appraisals on numismatic items," Ostromecki said. "We also received some great media coverage from the local television affiliates, and the event was featured on National Public Radio's 'Here and Now' program, which airs all across the nation."
