VISIT

Hark back to a time when wealth was based upon coinage and money still had a magical shine, currency was only as hard as the material it was composed of, and forgers could expect a dark fate if caught.

Using modern audio guides, visitors are guided through half a millennium of European coin-minting history with our Münzwardein (master of the mint) Franz. They will discover the secrets of the powerful coin-issuing authorities and their fascinating machines.
Using magnifying glasses, visitors have the possibility to slip into the role of a researcher and to discover hidden details about the coins.
After a visit to the Hall Mint, climb to the top of the famous Mint Tower.
