    Canadians be sure to check out our past currencies.
    The Bank of Canada museum in Ottawa showcases the many currencies from countries all over the world. If you can think of a country you will likely be able to find its bill here. The museum demonstrates the currency manufacturing process and even has interactive displays explaining how economies work in a fun way, believe it or not. If you are Canadian check out past Canadian bill collections to take a trip down memory lane as you will recognize the different designs from your youth.

    very interesting
    Went into this museum on a rainy day in Ottawa. I found the museum to be very interesting and there were a few interactive displays that were good for kids and adults alike. It in a great location very close to Parliament Hill and doesn't require advance booking and it's free! There were monetary displays from all over the world and encompassing many centuries. It also has a decent gift shop. Friendly helpful staff.
