Museum of Numismatics

The Numismatic Museum is located in downtown Ottawa, on the ground floor of the main state bank. Anyone can get inside, the entrance is absolutely free.

The Museum of Numismatics collected its collection for half a century, and first opened its doors to visitors in 1980. Today, under the roof of the museum there are more than 100 thousand exhibits collected from around the world. Here you will see not only coins and paper money, but also various medals, tokens and even a collection of high-end money counterfeits that somehow turned out to be in the money circulation of Canada.

Not a small interest is the real library, whose books are also exhibits of the museum. Some of these artifacts date back to the Middle Ages and are of great value.
