Iv been a few times, I often take other people to see it when in Edinburgh. Great little museum. Great to see what a million pounds looks like. Visited at 1640 Friday 6th with a Freind, they loved it and will return as we were late getting into Edinburgh so only got 20 minutes inside. The lady behind the reception was amazing. She was very helpful and very friendly. I always tell lots of people I know to go visit this place.

Really interesting museum! We were here with the kids on a trip to Edinburgh a few months ago and we'd heard that you could strike your own coin here–the staff let us know that that was only during the summer/school holidays at certain hours, but Liam (I hope I'm remembering that correctly, he was the young American at the desk), ended up setting it all up for us during his lunch break anyway! The kids loved it, and he was able to give us some cool background facts. Would highly recommend visiting!

We hadn’t planned on visiting the museum but as the weather turned it seemed like a good opportunity. The history was interesting and some of the artefacts fascinating. One small gripe is the advertisement of being able to see a million pounds however all of the notes are marked specimen so it should read ‘ come and see lots of worthless paper’. Still interesting though!

We visited here as we seemed to have visited every museum in Edinburgh. This small museum was packed full of information about the history of money production including the Bank of Scotland and Lloyds. It's an interesting history. We visited at the same time as quite a large class group so couldn't see everything but still had a fascinating time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how interactive this museum was for kids. My girls really enjoyed it and loved the activity book which really connected them with the exhibits. The coin striking was a huge sucess for all of us. I would thoroughly recommend this to any families, especially as Edinburgh can be so expensive to entertain kids this free museum is a gem.

A lovely little gem of a find. Give yourself an hour to get around it. Brilliant history about Scotlands financial and banking history as well as showing all the old notes and coinage. You can also see the old banking “technology” as well as new. Also you get to see what £1,000,000 looks like. Well worth the visit.

Excellent museum, an unexpected gem. Friendly staff, great displays. Hands on opportunity to make your own coin, a young lady doing the demonstrations was very passionate about her role and had a great rapport with visitors. Enjoyed the visit
