The Money Museum

The Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City - Denver Branch offers visitors a brief but informative look into the world of finance and currency. Located in downtown Denver, this small museum provides free admission, making it an accessible option for tourists and locals alike.

Visitors generally appreciate the interactive exhibits that allow them to see millions of dollars in the cash vault, lift a gold bar, and design their own digital currency. The museum does a good job of explaining the role of the Federal Reserve and the history of American currency. Many find the experience educational, especially for children and young adults learning about economics.

However, some visitors note that the museum is quite small and can be fully explored in under an hour. While this makes it a convenient stop during a day of sightseeing, it may leave some wanting more depth or variety in the exhibits. Additionally, as it's located within a working Federal Reserve building, security measures can be stringent, which some visitors find slightly inconvenient.

Overall, The Money Museum offers an interesting, if brief, look into the world of currency and finance. It's well-suited for those with a specific interest in economics or for families looking for an educational activity, but may not be a top priority for all visitors to Denver.
