The Museo Casa de Moneda is a museum in Bogotá, Colombia, devoted to the history of the country's currency and coinage. It is also known as the Mint Museum, the Coin Museum, or the Casa de Moneda Museum, so you may see any of these names on maps and signs.
The museum occupies a historic colonial building that once housed the national mint. That setting is part of the visit: the rooms themselves tell something of the story of how money was made in the city, and the displays turn to the money that circulated in Colombia over time.
What to expect
- Exhibits on the history of Colombian currency and minting
- A colonial building that was once a working mint
- A visit suited to anyone interested in money, economic history, or local heritage
The museum is at Calle 11 #4-93 in Bogotá, in the Cundinamarca region. Visitors who want to confirm opening times, admission or the current programme can call +57 1 343 1111 before going.
Around the museum
Because the museum sits in the city's historic centre, it makes a natural stop among other sights in Bogotá. A visit to a museum of this kind pairs well with a walk through the surrounding streets, where the colonial architecture of the city is easy to see.
