More information on Museum van de Nationale Bank/Musee de la Banque Nationale

This interesting museum, which offers a unique collection of currencies and bank notes, is a must-see if in Brussels. Behind all currencies, coins, and notes hides a very captivating tale. From rare objects used as currency (including shells, animal cogs, and stones) to the most technologically-advances, fraud-proof bank notes: you'll find it here all. The museum boasts such treasures as one of the first european currencies, counterfeit bank notes issued by Hitler, notes from the concentration camps featuring the Start of Davis, and of course the famous euro! Really a must, not only for currency enthusiasts, but for anyone who is captivated by world history. For conducted visits please make an appointment by phone.
