I visited this museum causally. No expectations. But it turned out to be an experience I would remember for ages. This museum was never in my to do list. I have been in Udupi from past 5 years and before that I used to visit occassionally. I never thought a museum can change my viewpoint of Udupi's history. I thought I know Udupi. But it was not the case. The coin museum is not just about coins but also the story of Udupi and its people. Legacy of a wonderful philanthropist Haji Abdul ji (Udupi's Akbar). Visit to know his legacy and contribution for Udupi and coastal Karnataka. You will never believe that such a person had ever lived on this earth. One has to visit this mesmerizing museum. Museum has history of coins, currency, India's struggle, bank history, legend's history. Meet Mr. Uday(security) there, he is passionate about coins history and he will guide you with required information. His photo I have attached. He speaks Kannada, Tulu and Hindi. You will find one more official who speaks English too. But I found Mr. Uday humble and polite. Unfortunately photography is not allowed inside. A must visit place for every human being...

I made a visit to this museum and really got mesmerized to see the great collection of coins and currency notes. Also got to understand the story of the founder and legendary person Mr Haji Abdulla who was a true philanthropist. Mr Uday, the security staff guided us as well and gave us profound knowledge about various ancient coins, by imparting valuable information which we were unaware of. He seems to be passionate about the whole thing and found him very humble and polite. Photography inside the museum was not allowed but you can really spend good time knowing the history of coins as well as about the legend. A must visit for adults and kids and surely not to miss this opportunity at Udupi when the entry is absolutely free.

This coin museum has wide variety of coins from different Dynasties and a few explanations about barter system and promissory notes. The coin museum is 123 years old house of Haji adbullah, who was one of the biggest philanthropist of his time. Its free of cost and must visit place.

If you are visiting Udupi, then don't miss this museum. If you miss visiting Malape beach, no problem. But don't miss this one. It's a dream come true of two passionate people. One is a founder of corporation Bank and another a collector of coins and currency notes. The founder has given his banglow for exhibition of currency notes in the history of India and valuable coins. Jayaprakasha Rao is a brain behind this wonderful museum. It's free because the founder of the bank was philanthropist and donated everything whatever he was having in his lifetime. Take a guided tour of history of coins and currency in last 2000 years. Ideal for kids and adults.

Here we can see huge collection of coins and rupee notes which were introduced during the British time. They have collected all different special occasion coins. This museum is located just near to the Krishna temple.

I visited this place 125 years old building, where corporations bank started ,and owner is now bank ,which is now merged in union bank,very very old currencies are in museum very good to see very interesting very close to krunha madir it is free, great Muslim who started bank

Very good place to see the history of origin of corporation bank. The Founder President Khan Bahadur Haji Abdullah Haji Kasim Saheb Bahadur Sir's own house is converted into this museum. Very good collection of bank history. Also good collection of coins notes available here. Bank old photos are also available to see here. Thank you

Neatly exhibited collection is housed in the corporation bank founder's heritage house. Exhibits include coinage of Mahajanapadas, many regional ancient Indian Kingdoms, monarchs, colonial India, and republic India. Odd shaped punch mark coins, with drawn high denomination bank notes with Thanjavur big temple, various commemorative high denomination coins, error coins were some of the varied exhibits that is of attraction here. These exhibits are collection of former employee of corporation bank who is also the curator and in charge of the museum. On request he enthusiastically explains about this collection. Photography and bags are not allowed in this museum.

A really nice place to take young students. We will be able to correlate many images seen in History text books with actual coins. Very helpful staff, especially Mr. Jayaprakash. He guided us through the exhibits and explained every bit. A very knowledgeable person. Coins from the BC era till now are exhibited here. Be ready to spend atleast 3 hours if you are interested in such places. Through the coins you will be able to understand a bit of our history also. Special Thanks to Union Bank of India for maintaining the museum.

Well maintained by Bank. Knowledgeable staff guided us with all history of the bank and currency. Photo shoot stricted here. You can click on only one place near to the statue. There I glad to know that Modi Government is third government on demonetisation since independence.

Amazing Collections of Ancient Coins. Saw a 10,000/- Currency Note which was used in the Past before Independence. The Person Who Collected more than half of the treasure there have given us the good knowledge about past currencies and their values. Knowledgeable Visit.

First, access is completely free for all. Timings are from 10 am to 5 pm. The museum is closed on govt holidays and bank holidays. This is a great opportunity for everyone to learn about Indian coins and history. I would definitely recommend this place to travelers.

This is one of the nice museums everyone must visit, when they come to Udipi. There is a very good collection of coins here dating back to 400BC and some interesting facts about currency. Also, the staff here are excellent and very cooperative. The infrastructure here still remains very old including a 120 year old sliding window. Please take your kids to this place and let them explore the museum. It will be fun and also knowledgeable experience.

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to the staff of the museum - Uday and Murthy for the enlightening tour you provided at the coin museum, particularly for your detailed explanations about Sri Haji Abdullah Saaheb's significant contributions to Udupi, his generosity towards the people and all the facts about coins, its origin and history. Your passion and knowledge made the visit truly memorable, allowing us to appreciate the historical and cultural richness of the region. Your dedication to preserving and sharing this valuable heritage is commendable. Thank you for making the experience not only educational but also deeply inspiring. It's individuals like you who bring history to life and create a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to learn from your expertise.

Good to showcase your children history, will not take more than 30 mins if you spend max at each showcase. Staff is very good in explain things around. Suggest everyone visiting Udupi, if you have 15 minutes and it is 350 meters from temple.

Nice place to get knowledge about currency. Would take about 45 min to 1 hour to explore. Parking is on road side. No entry fee is charged. Caretaker Mr. Uday was very knowledgeable about the various items on display and gave us a lot of information about it. A GUY with enthusiasm to explain about property.

Notes along with some 17th century stamp papers make visit a worthwhile.

I visited this place on 30th Dec 2022 and must say I was very impressed by the authenticity of the facts in the Coin Museum offered free of cost. The security guard who has a thorough knowledge of the place and the things preserved there does a brilliant job of explaining things to the common crowd. One of the fewest places which can boast of offering true knowledge and not being money collection schemes.
