On the 10th anniversary of national independence, the National Bank of Georgia established a museum of money that is now open to visitors.
While bearing political and economic significance, money is a work of art and a basis of statehood, symbolizing the unity, power and prosperity of a nation in the past, present and future. The history of money emission and circulation is a kind of a mirror truly and precisely reflecting the political and economic history of a country.
There are numerous museums in Tbilisi and elsewhere in Georgia, and quite a few of them display specimens of old money alongside their specific exhibits. The Money Museum founded at the National Bank of Georgia is the only one in this country that is fully dedicated to money and not only from the historical viewpoint.
The Museum's exhibits lead the onlookers through the centuries-old history of money circulation in Georgia, from the 6th century B.C. up to the present, and also show samples of foreign currency from different countries of the world.
Money Museum Exhibition is open every day except Saturday and Sunday from 10 am till 4 pm.
