Opens Nov. 15 - Ongoing. “The Value of Money” exhibition features a number of updates to mark its 10-year anniversary and will include a changing display case, a refreshed entry feature and extensive new content. The exhibition connects American history to global histories of exchange, innovation, political change, and cultural interaction and expression through more than 300 objects from the museum’s National Numismatic Collection. Behind the massive vault door entrance, the new entryway includes diverse objects spanning more than 4,000 years from ancient cuneiform tablets to modern money. Across the gallery, visitors will see some of the collection’s most recently acquired objects, including an IRS agent’s laptop that helped the U.S. government seize $3.6 billion of stolen cryptocurrency in 2022 – resulting in the largest financial seizure in U.S. history. Another recent addition, Chinese coins from the Howard F. Bowker Collection will explore the history of money in China. A special display, “Revolutionary Money,” features the wide range of objects in circulation in early America, such as a beaver pelt, colonial and European coins, and Continental banknotes. Popular objects, among the rarest in the world, will continue to delight visitors, including the legendary “1933 Double Eagle,” the first U.S. $20 gold coin from 1849, a $100,000 bill printed in 1934, and the famous 1804 silver dollars known as “the king of coins.”
