    Entrance to the museum is free but getting in required a lot of bureaucracy, which is typical in the Philippines. The museum is compact and easy to navigate. It only took us 1.5 hours to finish seeing all the exhibits. Taking pictures is allowed. It was interesting to see the artifacts on display, especially the currency used during the colonial years of the country. The captions next to the artifacts provide a lot of great information and I like that they are both in Filipino and English. There is also a small area dedicated to the currencies of the world. This museum is definitely worth a visit.

    This had been a popular place for educational tours.We went here a couple of times when I was in elementary and it is very educational. As far as I can remember, it showed us the production of money through videos and there's the old coins that was used before. It is a very nice place for educational tours.

    History of Philippines as viewed in terms of money. From Spanish period and galleon trade to resistance currencies during Japanese occupation and onward to current currency. Worthwhile to visit if you are in the Manila Bay area and want to know more about Philippines. Admission, like other museums, is free.

    (Translated by Google) Philippine money has a history! ️ When you look at colonial money, it's thoughtful. Please be careful as you will not be able to enter unless you have an ID (passport) as you will enter the Mint. ️ (Original) フィリピンのお金に歴史ありです‼️ 植民地時代のお金を見ると、考え深いです。 造幣局の中に入るので、ID(パスポート)が無いと入れませんのでご注意を‼️
