Fantastic! It was very interesting to see, especially the (bank) notes from my childhood. And to explore the history of money! Very interesting! Thank you.

At the Currency Museum we’re friendly, approachable, and chock-full of knowledge about currency, counterfeit detection, fraud prevention, economics, and—if you’re really hard-core—central banking.
Check out our calendar of exhibitions, events, and special activities. Browse through our eight galleries, featuring over 8,000 objects from the National Currency Collection. Participate in our programs and activities. Ask our guides to fill you in on the finer points. There will be a lot to discuss—the Museum boasts the world’s most comprehensive collection of Canadian bank notes, coins, and tokens, in addition to fascinating artifacts from beyond our borders.
Need a break? The Museum is right next door to a lush indoor tropical garden, the perfect place to catch your breath during a day filled with the sights and sounds of downtown Ottawa.
