Museum Day: Discover the Country’s Unique Currency Exhibits

Have you ever wondered what millions of dollars looked like? Or did you know how accurate counterfeit bills are? Did you know there are museums about money? On International Museum Day, we take you on an inside tour of the country’s money museums!
Museum Day: Discover the Country’s Unique Currency Exhibits
Money Museums are maintained to teach us about the history of banking and the evolution of currencies. While Covid-19 has locked us at home this season and touring a museum doesn’t seem to be a cracking idea right now, we can always tour the online footprint of money museums through their websites.
