American Numismatic Association

This is an absolutely fabulous Museum! They do Free Fridays every now and then so I recommend checking it out. I would say that there's quite a lot of reading involved if you like history and facts this is for you! I would say small children probably won't get much out of it although there is a small kids area downstairs so wait for the free kids Saturday that's probably more aimed towards them. There was so many neat things to look at that you could probably spend a few days here just learning about different things and looking at the really great artifacts🪙💰💵💶💴

Cool money museum! They had tons of coins and bills. I was very interested in the Colorado coins n bills. There is some really awesome history in this building. Definitely take your time and walk around n see all the things!!

This place was legitimately very cool. Went in on a whim, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were friendly and helpful. It’s small but they have several very cool items on display.

Super fun! Lots to do and see for both adults and kids. We were there for about an hour but could have easily stayed between 1 and 2 hours if we hadn't got there right before closing. They have a good variety of money-themed items/souvenirs you can buy at reasonable prices. There are certain days where admission is free and also admission is discounted if you get there within an hour of closing. And we found a good Groupon to use as well. The staff was super nice and helpful and it was very easy to walk around. It's self-led. I would gladly go back if I'm in the area again.

Wild about coins? Impressed by ancient ingenuity? Looking to learn something obscure to help you win trivia at a family game night? Come here. My elementary kiddo gives it a 10 out of 10 because when you complete the trivia/scavenger hunt you get to choose an actual antique or unique coin out of the treasure chest. Also, there were a few touch screens that played 2-3min videos, making it "better than just reading." My middle school kiddo gives it a 10 out 10 because it had a broad range of coin displays, and he compared certain exhibits to the Smithsonian - but points out that the yap stone is the size of double doors at the Smithsonian - but the yap stone here in Colorado Springs could easily fit in a wheelbarrow. The slightly more difficult trivia game for teens also results in a trip to the treasure chest. If you wish to learn more, there is a library attached where you can take a deep dive into the art of coin collecting, the evolution of currency, and just enjoy being brainy. Wide range of souvenir options. Clean facility. Budget about 45min - 1hr of your time for the museum portion. We only snooped around the library for a few seconds...our vacation volume isn't necessarily "library quiet"... Maybe call ahead to see if there are any scheduled demos for the mint/coin press. Unfortunately, during our visit that display area was blocked off, but the setup makes me think groups or field trips or tours might get to see some fun stuff! Also, there is a corner upstairs with risers and a large TV that's meant to be a theatre - it was not operational. Seemed like a simple tech fix or a web address issue. Maybe "tech guru" wasn't on the clock the day we went. If 50 people were here - it would be crowded. Our visit was on a Saturday afternoon and there were about 12 guests (including us) during our visit. Evidently there's a Groupon and maybe even a $2 coupon on tourism rack cards. We didn't know about either. Hopefully someone reads this and maybe saves a little deniro.

We had no idea that this place even existed in Colorado Springs, or to expect someone as great as this! There's two floors of awesome informative displays from the beginning of coins and money to current versions. They also have a kids area, and once a month have a kids focused teaching session which is very informative yet fun and your kids will end up with lots of coins from around the world.

A great place to be! Lots of cool money exhibits used in history, especially exhibits with my two favorite United States Presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln

The “Money Museum” is a great place to learn about the history of coins, and see coins you would typically never see. They sell 1oz silver coins, copper coins, coin replicas, charms, shirts, hats, and more. I loved the visit and I recommend the trip!

Super fun! Lots to do and see for both adults and kids. We were there for about an hour but the adults could have easily stayed between 1 and 2 hours if we hadn't got there right before closing. I felt like for the kids an hour was a good time span to spend there. They have a good variety of money-themed items/souvenirs you can buy at reasonable prices. There are certain days where admission is free and also admission is discounted if you get there within an hour of closing. And we found a good Groupon to use as well.

These are the greatest people on the planet. I love the American Numismatic Association. I feel blessed to know you as a LM for 15yrs now. God Bless You ANA

The American Numismatic Association isn't a medical research firm that's why people refer to it as "The Money Museum". After many years of driving past I had family in town so we went to check this mysterious place out. We all probably have a love-hate relationship with money and no matter how nerdy it sounds to look at money in alarmed glass cases - it was quite fascinating. The Money Museum had two floors of currency dating from 400 B.C. to present, some of it being possibly the only known remaining article. There were placards which had all sorts of interesting facts. My guests and I spent at least an hour here perusing. Definitely a worth see for the nerd in you.

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!

Wow is all I can say. Who knew coins were so so interesting. I'm certainly not a coin enthusiast but I am now. Coins are history. They have coins from Greek and Roman times and after. The gold coin collection will take your breath away. The security guard there is a history and coin buff and super knowledgeable and made the visit super well worth it. He would walk around and give us coin histories as well as amazing coin trivia. I WILL be back to this museum when I come back to Co Springs. Don't miss it: it is very inexpensive to go there and admission is very low.

Took our three girls (6 and under) for the free admission 3rd Saturday. We had a blast! The museum staff was super friendly and welcoming! The display was educational. There was a kid class going on. We joined in and learned so much. We left some cool coins! We will be back!!

Rare coins, and I do mean rare! I took the tour with a group. I saw one coin, in a case, a tiny coin, worth seven million dollars, only one of five of its kind in the world! That's what I remember most. One of the best collections of coin anywhere: in this museum.

Otherwise referred to as The Money Museum: Total must see if you are in the Colorado Springs area. They are almost on the university campus, and have limited parking, but we were there during the week, and had no problem getting in, although the we had to dodge all of the school kids there on field trip. They have rotating current exhibits, and when we were there it was about the civil war, and the currencies used and how it impacted the different sides. So interesting. And of course there are the standing exhibits of rare and very valuable coins. Sis pointed out to me that one of the exhibits is actually inside a vault, which I am sure they close after the museum closes.

A valuable gem! I am not a coin collector, but I use money (maybe not as much as I'd like). This museum gave good information about something I use nearly every day, that I often take for granted. Not only does it have an informative and enthusiastic staff, and a beautiful and well-displayed collection (including one of the best gold coin collections around), it helps raise and then answer questions about financial value such as: Why does government-backed money have value? Why do some coins go up in price? Why do people want to invest in something as useless as gold? The special exhibits are nearly always worth visiting, too. I have seen the Civil War and the WW I presentations, and they were valuable for a comprehensive view of the topic, as well as understanding the role of financing and currencies, and how the topic affected the currencies.

This was a fun little diversion while visiting the Springs. Learned some interesting stuff and enjoyed the afternoon.

Pretty cool. Lots coins and bills. Ancient and modern. Civil war memorabilia too. Kids under 12 free. Free third sat month. Very polite staff. Very educational. Clean.

I really enjoyed my visit. A nice small but very valuable and representative collection on display. The library is superb. The staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Ancient to modern and international exhibits including a nice gift shop and unusual / rare items on display. Fully satisfied with my experience and would highly recommend to others with an interest in coins and paper money.

Worth a visit even if you are not into coin/money collecting. Fascinating exhibits, enough for an hour or two wandering around
