"Nichigin Experience 2015" in Marugoto Museum 2015

[Silver] Nov. 6, 2015 20:00

 I've been to "Nichigin Experience 2015", one of the events of the whole museum 2015, so I will report it.
The building of the Bank of Japan has been designated as an important cultural property of Japan, and is designed by Dr.
The Nichigin Experience has a special exhibition that does not require reservations, in addition to the very popular "Citizen Course with Mini Tour".

This time, I saw a special exhibition that does not require reservations. "The Bank of Japan of Your Town"

There are "proof of counterfeiting bills", "experience of lifting 100 million yen with bills", and "experience of lifting a gold lump". It seems that it is.

There was also a commemorative photo corner. In the Meiji era, horses were used to transport money, so there was also a drinking fountain for that horse.

 What is important in what you have learned:
①The Bank of Japan is 55% owned by the government and is a major shareholder. The remaining 45% is owned by the private and general public.
②Bills burned in a fire may be redeemed at the Bank of Japan even if they become ashes. Even if it is wrapped in a band, it seems that one piece is counted with tweezers and one piece is prepared for cash. 

 We accept tours even during normal times. For more information, please visit the website of the Bank of Japan.

The Money Museum will be reopened on November 21st (Sat).
