The Bank of Canada currency museum contains practically every artifact related to trade and its eventual transition to coins and paper currency. The Bank of Canada's Currency Museum was opened in 1980. It is home to the National Currency Collection, the largest collection of Canadian bank notes, coins, and tokens in the world. The Museum is located within the first Bank of Canada building (built in 1934) While at the Museum, be sure to enjoy the Bank’s beautiful tropical garden court, the perfect place to relax or eat your lunch.
