Money Museum of the Bank of Lithuania
Lietuvos banko Pinigų muziejus
A free, interactive museum of money, with ancient silver bars from Lithuania and banknotes from around the world. You can also strike your own commemorative coin.
The Money Museum is inside the Bank of Lithuania building on Gediminas Avenue and is free to enter. The exhibits cover the origins of money, the silver grivna bars and coins of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the litas of the two independence periods, and the introduction of the euro. Banknotes and coins from countries around the world are also on display. The interactive displays are very popular. You can compare quantities with a 'wall of money' made of one million one-cent coins, find out how much you are 'worth' in coins, and use a machine to strike a commemorative coin. It is well suited to families with children and takes about an hour.
