Currency Museum, Daejeon, South Korea

4.5 (29 reviews) Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM Spent Ranking #12 in Daejeon Speciality Museums

Very Interesting

Free admission and it is quite interesting to see how the currency has evolved in Korea since the early days to the Japanese Occupation and up to the Independence and Korean Wars. If you take time to read the descriptions, you can learn a lot about the history of Korea from their money. They do have some parts that do not have any english in it, but for the most part it has it both in english and korean.

Currency Museum in a quiet area
C1 ( 2013.05.31 ) There was many exhibits which you can see the history of money. International monetary, anti-counterfeiting technology and the production process can be seen there. Unfortunately, there is not different with exhibits of five years ago. Museum's souvenir shop was not interesting because there was not much to buy.
