Description:

• Located on the first floor of the Menara Maybank, this museum houses an impressive collection of numismatic items, notably coins and notes of various denominations. Interestingly, some of them date all the way back to the Malacca Sultanate era. Opened in 1988, this museum was set up to preserve the country's currency heritage. The museum also serves as a center for research into Malaysia's numismatic history. Visitors are not allowed to take photographs, but there are postcards and brochures depicting the collection.
