Russell Alphonse Rulau (September 21, 1926 – November 12, 2012[1]) was an American numismatist. He was involved in coin collecting for over 60 years. From his earliest days as a casual collector, Rulau contributed to numismatics as a writer, editor and club organizer. His interest in world coins led him to create the "Coin of the Year" award. The award is presented annually by Krause Publications' World Coin News.[2] Rulau coined the term "exonumia" in 1960.[3]
