Description:
Operated by the American Numismatic Association, this museum is the largest collection of its kind west of the Smithsonian Institution, consisting of four galleries of coins, tokens, medals, and paper money from around the world. Of special note is the earliest reale (Spanish coin) struck in the New World (Mexico), dating from 1536. There's also an 1804 dollar, a 1913 "V" nickel, and a nice collectors' library. Allow 1 hour.
