This 'House of Coins' gives a relatively good understanding of the history and process of coin making in Colombia. You will see most of what you need to learn in under 30 minutes, but worth the stop. More

This is a very small "museum" capturing coin making. It is next to other museums and really is worth stopping and looking. It's a 15 minute experience. More

This is well constructed and thoughtful museum, but if you aren't totally into the history of money, it may seem a bit redundant. It's attached to the Botero museum, so at least stop in for a peek. The large machinery is particularly interesting. More

For those interested in history and numismatics, can't miss this museum. By the way, it is located just next to Museo Botero. More

If you like money, this would be a great place to visit since it has an extensive collection with tons of information and exhibits including old machinery and scales that are gigantic. Most if not all the information was in Spanish. It's free and you get a little souvenir coin so there is no reason not to stop in on... More

Just a museum about pesos. It´s okay to visit, specially because it´s nearby Botero´s Museum so you can visit the two of them. More

A good way to visit traditional columbian houses...the museum is free as others pointed it out and you get a coin souvenir as you exit. It is a small museum but connects to bunch of other museum, so expect to spend 1+ hours... More
