I went to the "Monet Museum" in Nihonbashi.
The Museum is adjacent to the head office of the Bank of Japan, and the museum has since ancient times to the present day.
Until then, Japanese coins, commemorative coins, rare coins from the world are on display.
It was established in 1982 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Bank of Japan's founding, and opened in November 1985, attracting 70,000 visitors annually.
It seems that there are 3 million coin collections owned by the museum, but about 5,400 of them are on display.
After entering the exhibition room through the lobby covered with red carpets, there is a large-sized oval there. The gold lump related to the Owari Tokugawa family, which is said to be the "heritage of Ieyasu Tokugawa," was conspicuous.
I felt strangely nostalgic, such as Tomomi Iwakura's 500-yen bills and Taisuke Itagaki's 100-yen bills, Ito Hirobumi's 100-yen bills.
What surprised me about the world's rare currency was the German banknote, a 100 trillion mark mark bill when inflation hit. Further up is Hungary's 1 billion pengo tag! The number of digits of 0 is 29 digits.
I was surprised at the stone coins weighing 100kg and a diameter of 3.6m.
In addition, we sold interesting goods such as an experience corner where the actual weight of 100 million yen, a banknote cracker, and a gold bar yokan, so we were able to enjoy it more than expected.
※What is the 1 billion pengo?
＝10 yrillion pengo = 1 × 1021 Pengo = 1, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO, OOO
It seems that 21 zeros are lined up.
