The Money Museum
Money Museum Credit Visit KC
Student groups visiting the Kansas City area won’t want to bypass an opportunity to stop by the Money Museum located in the Federal Reserve Bank for a little insight into our Nation’s financial system. See for yourself what happens inside an automated cash vault; examine the Truman Library collection of American coinage – see perfect specimens of coins produced by the U.S. Mint during every presidential administration - and get your hot hands on a 27 lb., $400,000.00 bar of solid gold; check out the fickle market as values change before your eyes!
Take a crack at designing new currency, see if you can spot a counterfeit bill and take a gander at 40 million in cold, hard cash; several educational and entertaining interactive exhibits explain banking, the economy and how the “Fed” really works. The Museum also offers free presentations or lesson plans on a variety of financial topics – why not “spend” a little time shaping a better understanding of why – and how – money makes the world go ‘round? Admission and parking are free!
