This is the first museum in the world dedicated to talking about money, with topics on how to manage your finances in daily life, how to buy, sell and how not to get into debt. The museum has basic information so that from a young age we can learn about our way of managing money. There is a journey through the history of banks, the banknote factory, the numismatics area, permanent exhibitions as well as courses and diplomas to understand that in the end we all play the same game.
