Paris Currency Museum

The Monnaie de Paris Museum in Paris was renovated and reopened after 5 years, and is located in a building that used to be a mint that issued currency. The Currency Museum has about 170,000 items in its collection, of which about 2,000 are coins, medals, decorations and jewelry, making it a fun place to see.

Introduction to the Permanent Exhibition

The permanent exhibition at the Currency Museum offers a glimpse into the history of science, technology, economics, society and art. In particular, it shows in detail the process of melting metal and alloying, as well as the manufacturing process using hammers and hydraulic press technology, making it a great place to visit with children. It also displays detailed explanations of the various metal ores that were the raw materials for currency minting, along with historical currencies.

You can also see currencies from other countries

The Currency Museum exhibits not only French currency, but also foreign currencies, including the Chinese Kaiyuan Tongbao and currency brought as spoils of war during the French expedition to Tonkin. 

In addition, the internal special exhibition is held with a different concept each time, and this admission ticket includes admission to the special exhibition, so you can see it together.
