Reviews of American Numismatic Association (Museum)

Heather Simons

This place was amazing so much information and history. Went with 22 kids in tow. They had a very hard time keeping their hands off the displays because they just wanted to get closer. I will definitely book with them again.

Deborah Muehleisen

An inexpensive and fascinating outing just north of downtown Colorado Springs. The exhibits tie together history, art, culture and science. Interesting even if you're not a coin collector. Easy and free parking.

Dawn Ahrens

It's really informative. Very relaxed atmosphere

Greg's Travels

Worth the visit

Regina Mundell

Fun and very informative.

Nichole Varner

My husband and I loved our visit here. It was cool to see how history and human currency interact. As a history buff and an art and design nerd we were both very entertained by what they had on display. Also, their library has many old books which could have some hidden typography jems hidden away as well. Being right across from the art museum it is a very convenient and fun way to spend an hour or so.

Benjamin Swagerty

Wonderful museum. Friendly staff.

Matthew Iverson

Great place for families and those of us who love shiny round things.

Everything (and more) that you want to know about money from around the world. Most of the money focuses on US money but they have coins from all countries. It is a great place to learn the history of the American Dollar. They even have a room dedicated to the Gold Coin Currency, and the Civil War Currency display was Great! We found it far more engaging than expected! It's so well done that there's a tension between reading the explanations and actually looking at the coins. Wow!

Joseph Avila

It's great if You live in Colorado and Collect Coins...So Super Happy To Find :) Thank You !?!

Frances Anderson

Love taking the kids here for their kid friendly events. The people are very friendly and it's enjoyable for the whole family too. Prepare for awe and a dive into history. Nice facility, clean and open. You'll leave there feeling enriched.

Rachel Moyer

My daughter loved the treasure chest.

Tom M

Great money museum

Ravpreet Gill

I liked it a lot because I am interested in history, but most annoying was the background music -- made it hard to concentrate when reading. They have some videos, but the one I started cut off randomly.

Monica Ann

That was very interesting

Tomas Dawson

It's all about money. Really interesting place to visit. Lots of displays about, well, money.

Jesse Mounts

A must see for coin collectors or enthusiasts. Great rare coin displays!

Chelsey Riffle

This was a great museum. Alot of great displays, reasonable admission. Unique and rare coins and paper money for viewing.

Keith Horowitz

Went with a 7 year old, and he enjoyed it. We learned a lot and enjoyed looking at all the different types of money and seeing the history of money.

Chafonta Whatley

Very informative

Jennifer Wilson

Really interesting museum even for small children. I would recommend starting on the lower level first if you have kids because they have a neat children's area there. We did this in less than an hour and it was totally worth the small charge.

Brian Brewington

Learn the history of money and coinage. Stick around for the coin press demo in the basement.

Michael Keir

A great collection of domestic, foreign, new, old coins and display pieces. There's also a nice area for younger children to explore so the whole family can join in.

Nicole Hernandez

We all really enjoyed it! Not very big, but beautiful & full of information!

Jess Weaver

This place was very cool! We ended up visiting on the third Saturday of the month which happened to be free admission. The staff was very informative and accommodating. We walked around all of the exhibits and were shown a demonstration on the coin minting process. The instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging. We each left with a "coin" from the demonstration. The kiddos (age 10 and 12) really enjoyed it. Highly recommend a visit!

Curtis Hill

Extremely interesting numismatic museum. Learned a lot about US and world coins and also learned some history through the coins.

Philip C

Great museum, nice displays, very informative!

SU KI

Good. Smallish.

Bradley Nathan

A hidden gem! I've driven by for years, not realizing how big of a collection lie within. Lots of rare US coins, great displays - including regional mining and minting and a WWII currency exhibit. The basement has a lot of world coinage, as well as an interactive kids corner. This is a "must see" for any coin collector.

Ben C

Great place to learn about the history of money. There are displays that take you through the different wars and corresponding different forms of money. Kids area to keep the kids occupied. Small but adequate gift shop. There is a separate vault area for rate coins with good explanations of each. Some of the coins seen on the show Pawn Stars are here. Think Double Eagle. The printing press from the Denver Mint is also neat. One hour to skim everything to 1 day to read everything.

Dana Stair

Awesome staff, featured on Travel Channel's "Mysteries at the Museum," shows coins throughout history. Self guided tour, kid's area, and you can take pictures (No flash)! Gift shop features coins and bills from around the world that are very fun to take back home/to a hotel to look at!

Precilla Mareschal

Love the exhibits, so much to see!

Brad R

Had a good time here learning about all the Currency of past and present times !

Ane Randazzo

A self-guided chronology of history through Numismatic exchange! An impressive collection of coins and bills! Activities for children, audio/visuals, gift shop items to assist young collectors.

Renee Lingk

The beauty and history of world-wide currency is amazing. I would have loved to had more time to explore each of these exhibits and have hopes of returning to explore all they have to offer.

Jim Rogers

Plan to spend several hours (probably 1/2 a day). It has so much information and great displays.

Phat Vegan

Wonderfully informative. A lot of metals and even ancient coins.

Brittany Renee

Interesting bits of history and opportunities for accessible family fun

Christy Barzellay

The people were amazing! It turns out the third Saturday of every month admission is free! Be sure to check your local brochures in the hotels for coupons for half price admission other times!

Pat Spackman

If you like coins and I do, you really need to visit here.

seppopovich smith

Awesome history great venue, highly knowledgeable staff.

Alex White

Pretty expensive for a money museum

Tyler Barchek

Very detailed and lots of info.

Brett H

It's worth a visit if you have a general interest in coins. I probably wouldn't bother bringing anybody that doesn't have an interest. I'm not a die-hard collector, but could tell the importance of the items on display. Everything is well presented with plenty of info for each and every coin. A casual walk through took about 45 minutes.

Jim Doughty

Very interesting place. Lots to learn and see inside. Best of all the kids had fun.

Christine Sarnacki

Great museum. Exhibts are well done and the cost is reasonable.

Ray bro

Great numismatic items, I really like the patterns. That extra high relief double eagle is amazing, also the 3 dollar gold coins with the cameos are amazing. Numismatics are awesome!

Carrie Ellen

Excellent visual displays of history and money.

Matthew Sickles

Im A Numismatist And I Love Studying Old And New Coins. This Seems Like A Great Place To Go To For Coins.

Ted Driver

There's a good amount of info here on all types of money. It's a great place to see and understand about the different types of money, historical types of currency and rare types as well. Downstairs, there is a coin stamping machine - fun to learn how it's done. Kid activities here as well, so bring the family. Favorite thing I saw there: First paper currency from China, printed on tree bark.

Jacob Buttler

One of my favorite places to visit. This place is easy to miss but I highly recommend going there for a visit and bring along the kids young and old .. lots to see and very interesting.

Richard Dinda

Had never heard of such a museum. It was very interesting and educational.

Elizabeth Stair

Very cool place to check out and learn about currency's history! You can also purchase coins from other countries to look at which is always fun to open and look through.

Barry Noto

Very nicely setup. Overall, very informative. The Bass collection is nuts! Wow!

Dennis

Fantastic place that chronicals the history of money. May look small but each display captivates you when you think about the hands that the coins have passed from and the travels they have taken before arriving at the museum. Many rare coins from Europe go back even further in time with each display telling a story. Come early, because once you start touring, time will fly. You really will be amazed at the collections.

Michael Willma

Awesome museum. Friendly knowledgeable people.

Cyndi Nathan

Enjoyed the free day. Good for adults but tough on the little ones.

ANGELA CHRISTENSEN

Kids were entertained, and a little rowdy, but we made out through.

Maury McCoy

The gift shop was cool, they even sell a kit that allows you to make a portrait of Abe Lincoln from pennies.

Tabitha

This museum is a must see when in Colorado springs. They have a huge selection of rare expensive coins and paper money. The history behind money makes you appreciate the art side of it.

Demarius Bell

Cool

Justin Zabor

Always something of wonderment to see here, Amazing collections!!

Craig Johnson

Such a cool place and museum. Wow the WW1 exhibit alone is worth seeing.

Ryan Hoolahan

Best coin shows, education seminars and numismatic displays available in numismatics are found with this group.

Turbo Tyler

What an interesting place for coin, currency collectors.

Jerry Fritz

Their Money Museum is incredible...

CHRIS PAYNE

Loved the Bass collection and the civil war collection. They also had the good bad and ugly on display. If you are a fan of world history or world money you will also like this. Most the stuff I have read on the bass collection is about his collection of gold coins but there is also many pattern coins on display which I always like to see.

Scott Bucholtz

Great collection and extremely knowledgeable staff. Doesn't take too long to get through but a lot of amazing coins and history to see.

Steven Ellsworth

The bst kept secret in Colorado Springs.

Jeff West

Great place to visit

Nathan Campbell

Sara Lucero

Great world war I exhibit and henry bass exhibit!

Diego Antonio Preciado Estrella

Little place

Erin Griffin

Amazing. Simply amazing. If I lived near I would be a regular visitor. Our preteen boys enjoyed it as well as we adults did. Talk to Mitch if you get the chance! He showed us things we hadn't noticed and made a great experience even better.

Kay Herman

Such a fun place for adults and kiddos. We started with the World War 1 section, complete with money and items from both sides of the war. The section was enhanced with a replica of a bunker and a periscope that shows the war above. It also has two Morse code telegraph machines that communicate with each other from across the room. My kiddos liked looking at the coins, then doing an activity and then going back to the money. It also has a unique personal collection that is very well done. Don't miss the downstairs - coins from around the world, how to determine counterfeit money, and a unique kid's section. My boys also loved the treasure chest at the end where they picked a coin to take home. Thank you for a lovely morning!

N Garber

Amazing place to visit! Perfect for collectors and even for people who know nothing about currency. Mainly focusing on coins, they have a fair share of exhibits featuring interesting things like old gold scales and paper money and even a functioning printing press. Small but well organized. I spent an hour there but I could easily come back for half a day looking around at what they have to offer and teach. Great place. Highly recommend!

Angelo Macero

Interesting place,especially if you have an interest in numismatics!!

We used a Groupon. It was our first visit. There were many fascinating details! There was too much to study and absorb. We were glad we didn't pay full price admission.

SPXonomics

Good place for kids and adults to learn the history of currency. Surprised to learn about world wars and how they created the global currency system we operate under today.

Eliezer Droege

Went here with a class field trip, I'm going to have to come back without 40 kids

shaun kucera

A must see for coin collectors.

Joanne Erb

Today was a free day. I'm so glad that I went. Their theme was WWI. The collection of coins is absolutely incredible. They actually are displaying a coin worth 7 million and a permanent collection of coins with rarity 8 classifications meaning it is 1 of 8 left in the world, worth 300 million. There was so much to see, read and learn from. This museum was fascinating. This is a must to see if you are visiting or even live here. I will absolutely be back.

Mia Wright

Very interesting

Todd Case

Enjoyed every minute

Amanda Newling

Very interesting! Found good price on groupon.

Very interesting coins and well presented history. If coins and collecting is your passion this is a must see.

Jeanette Byrne

This is a cool place to bring kids. They have a lot of unique items. My kids enjoyed looking at the money. It is an inexpensive way to spend an afternoon.

tod aronson

For the coin collector, a place not to be missed. For history buffs a great place to stop. 2 to 3 hours of your time.

John Aller

Nice little museum good way to spend 1/2 hour to 2 hours. Currently half 100 th anniversary of world War I exhibit. Very nice. !
