Love the exhibits

Great museum with a lot of information, cool displays, interactive opportunities.

Wonderfully educational stop for anyone interested in coins and coinage.

We had no idea that this place even existed in Colorado Springs, or to expect someone as great as this! There's two floors of awesome informative displays from the beginning of coins and money to current versions. They also have a kids area, and once a month have a kids focused teaching session which is very informative yet fun and your kids will end up with lots of coins from around the world.

Wild about coins? Impressed by ancient ingenuity? Looking to learn something obscure to help you win trivia at a family game night? Come here. My elementary kiddo gives it a 10 out of 10 because when you complete the trivia/scavenger hunt you get to choose an actual antique or unique coin out of the treasure chest. Also, there were a few touch screens that played 2-3min videos, making it "better than just reading." My middle school kiddo gives it a 10 out 10 because it had a broad range of coin displays, and he compared certain exhibits to the Smithsonian - but points out that the yap stone is the size of double doors at the Smithsonian - but the yap stone here in Colorado Springs could easily fit in a wheelbarrow. The slightly more difficult trivia game for teens also results in a trip to the treasure chest. If you wish to learn more, there is a library attached where you can take a deep dive into the art of coin collecting, the evolution of currency, and just enjoy being brainy. Wide range of souvenir options. Clean facility. Budget about 45min - 1hr of your time for the museum portion. We only snooped around the library for a few seconds...our vacation volume isn't necessarily "library quiet"... Maybe call ahead to see if there are any scheduled demos for the mint/coin press. Unfortunately, during our visit that display area was blocked off, but the setup makes me think groups or field trips or tours might get to see some fun stuff! Also, there is a corner upstairs with risers and a large TV that's meant to be a theatre - it was not operational. Seemed like a simple tech fix or a web address issue. Maybe "tech guru" wasn't on the clock the day we went. If 50 people were here - it would be crowded. Our visit was on a Saturday afternoon and there were about 12 guests (including us) during our visit. Evidently there's a Groupon and maybe even a $2 coupon on tourism rack cards. We didn't know about either. Hopefully someone reads this and maybe saves a little deniro.

Super fun! Lots to do and see for both adults and kids. We were there for about an hour but could have easily stayed between 1 and 2 hours if we hadn't got there right before closing. They have a good variety of money-themed items/souvenirs you can buy at reasonable prices. There are certain days where admission is free and also admission is discounted if you get there within an hour of closing. And we found a good Groupon to use as well. The staff was super nice and helpful and it was very easy to walk around. It's self-led. I would gladly go back if I'm in the area again.

Cool money museum! They had tons of coins and bills. I was very interested in the Colorado coins n bills. There is some really awesome history in this building. Definitely take your time and walk around n see all the things!!

This is an absolutely fabulous Museum! They do Free Fridays every now and then so I recommend checking it out. I would say that there's quite a lot of reading involved if you like history and facts this is for you! I would say small children probably won't get much out of it although there is a small kids area downstairs so wait for the free kids Saturday that's probably more aimed towards them. There was so many neat things to look at that you could probably spend a few days here just learning about different things and looking at the really great artifacts🪙💰💵💶💴
