I went to the "Money Museum" in Nihonbashi.
The money museum is adjacent to the head office of the Bank of Japan, and has been in the museum since ancient times to the present.
Up to now, Japanese money, commemorative coins, rare coins in the world are on display.
It was established in 1982 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Bank of Japan, and opened in November 1985 and attracts 70,000 people annually.
It is said that the museum owns three million coin collections, of which about 5,400 are on display.
When you enter the exhibition room through the lobby covered with red carpets, there is a large-sized oban. The gold lump related to the Owari Tokugawa family, which is said to be "the heritage of Ieyasu Tokugawa," was prominent.
I felt strangely nostalgic, such as Tomomi Iwakura's 500-yen bill and Taisuke Itagaki's 100-yen bill, Ito Hirobumi's 100-yen bill.
What surprised me with the world's rare currency was German banknotes, 100 trillion mark bills when it was hit by inflation. Going further is Hungary’s 1 billion trillion pengo bill! The number of digits of 0 is 29 digits.
I was surprised at the stone coin weighing 100kg and 3.6m in diameter.
In addition, we sold interesting goods such as an experience corner where you can actually weigh 100 million yen, banknote paper rice crackers, and gold bar yokan, so we were able to enjoy more than expected.
※1 billion trillion pengos...
＝10 Million Pengo = 1 × 1021 Pengo = 1, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO
There are 21 zeros.
