Amazing history lesson and really cool to see the money being processed. The gentleman working security was beyond friendly and gave a great intro to the museum. I learned so many things on this visit! Afterwards, they even gave us a little bag of shredded money.

So much fun! Had my 3yo and 6yo children with and they loved the coloring section, the photo ops, and leaving with a souvenir bag of shredded bills! It was a great experience and the staff and guards there were just the best!

You can't beat a free entrance. The museum is open during the weekdays and closed on the weekends and is currently only accepting those who have reserved their tickets online in advance (circa late 2021). It's a super small self guided tour that starts off with a Harry Truman coin collection. The exhibit next to it contains colorful and visual infographics on the history associated with money. After the exhibit, you can walk down a large hallway containing information that leads to a viewing area off limits to cameras. This area contains thick windows for tourists to view the actual processing and handling of money buy the federal reserve employees. Overall, it's a nice free thing to do that won't take up more than 30 minutes to an hour of your time. Enjoy.

I learned some things I never knew about our money. The most interesting exhibit was the coin collection, with coins going back to the birth of our nation. You even get some shredded money! You have to get tickets ahead of time because of Covid protocols, but it is a cool place to spend an hour or two.

Can you buy direct from treasury

penny hunters kansas | Sep 4, 2018
Douglas Hoff | Sep 4, 2018

What were you thinking of purchasing? The Treasury is more of a financial government service. The Money Museum has great currency related gifts and is located on the first floor of the Federal Reserve Bank, a private non-governmental financial business.

One of the reviews said a passport was needed to be admitted. Website states a DL is sufficient, just wanted to check on this. Thank you.

Barb Newman | Sep 4, 2018
John Shemwell | Sep 4, 2018

Any form of official photo ID will work. Driver's license or passport - either one should get you in!

Does this location do international money exchange?

Scott Bone | Sep 4, 2018
John Darby | Sep 4, 2018

No, it's just a museum.
