Enter the world of coins and notes from pre- and post-independence Singapore, and find out how foreign coins and notes eventually gave way to Singapore-made currency that was vital in her early nation building days.
With a range of currency from the earliest objects used for barter trade to the latest cutting-edge polymer notes on display, the Museum is also a showcase of the innovative excellence of the Singapore Mint and the Monetary Authority of Singapore in the design and production of world-renowned coins and notes.
For the curious and young-at-heart, let the Singapore Coins and Notes Museum satisfy your inquisitive mind. Do not miss our interactive and educational displays, which includes an interesting section on the peculiar ways which coins and notes are used for weddings, ornamentation and other purposes in different cultures.

The Singapore Mint was founded in 1968, after the independence of Singapore from Malaysia. It is a government company responsible for making the currency of Singapore and keeping it from being counterfeited. It has outlets in Orchard Road, where they sell special numbered banknotes and coins. The Singapore mint also runs a coin gallery, open free to the public. The mint collected S$5 million in 2009 when it organised a coin-note exchange, twice the amount of previous years, possibly due to the economic downturn.
