Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Enjoy some of the terrific Colombian coffee while you relax in the comfortable cafes and enjoy the street performances and people watching. Enjoy the quiet walks in the City Squares and the outdoor gardens.

This is a nice museum and besides the Botero museum, city square is near by and many restaurants. There are many shops around the place. Graffity in the area is something else.

If you go to the Botero Museum (A MUST) then this small place is out the side door right before the Botero gift shop. Historically interesting and the collection discusses money and coins to n Colombia. Worth a short visit

It is not just an old mint set up by the Spanish in the early 1600s, but this museum exhibits a comprehensive numismatic collection (meaning all different forms of currency). It offers a good historic overview of the development of currency in Colombia, from minting of coins to paper money.

In some ways I found it better than the Gold Museum, because an attempt is made to provide more context. For instance the difference between the meaning of gold for indigenous people (linked with religious and symbolic power) and what it meant for the Spanish conquistadores (purely economic, tradable). For the Spanish crown it was a major means to finance their military power which after independence came to an end and gradually paper money became dominant (see exhibits on the upper floor).

Would have liked more information in English. The summaries are rather brief and intellectual (use simpler wording like the virtual nun in Santa Clara).

Free admission.

So, you already went to Museo del Oro, Museo Nacional, Monserrate, La Candelaria ... well, Casa de Moneda is a must if you love historical tourism. The museum is placed in a very well preserved colonial house and it contains the history of colombian currency evolution since the colonial stage. Take a moment to delight it.

It's like the two museums are under one roof. So easy to visit them at the same time. Most of the museums, by the way, are free of charge. Some museums like the Emerald Museum, the Goldmuseum and the Museo de Bogota you pay an entrance fee which is not even 2 euros. Museums for which you have to pay an entrance fee are free of charge on Sundays,

The museum tells Colombian history through trade and money. The longer descriptions are in Spanish with shorter summaries in English. Coins from many different periods. Also some presses and other artifacts. Connected to the Botero museum and worth a short visit.

For those who are familar with Columian money, this would be a very interesting exhibit. But for a non Spanish speaking tourist, there is limited value to the museum. Of course some may find the different types of Columbian money interesting on their own.

Probably the main reason many travelers visit this collection of old coins, paper money and printing and mint machines is that is located in the same museum complex as the famous Botero museum. I was heading to see Botero, but it was anyway interesting to see this part - I presume for numismatics it's a must.
It's conducted by the Central bank of Colombia and entry is free.

Cool to see some of the early coins and learn what else was used for barter such as salt. Beautiful building and is connected to Botero Museum. It is free ... nothing to lose
