The Numismatic Museum of Aruba

If you like money you really need to see this place. It is a museum of coins from around the world. It is located in Oranjestad and houses over 35,000 coins from over 400 countries. I was told that one Arubian collected all the coins.

That would so interesting to see. When I was a kid, I lived in Detroit, so I was close enough to Canada to get canadian coins all the time. I thought it so cool to be able to collect coins from a different country. Then my dad got a job that had him traveling all the time. I got coins from Mexico, Austria, Italy, and I don't remember where else. So I've had a fascination with coins since I was a kid.

That sounds pretty interesting. I like to see other countries currency. It's really interesting to see how they use the paper or metals to trade with.

That is something I'm sure my son would love. How cool is it that 1 person collected all those coins. It sounds like a very interesting place to visit in Aruba.
I wonder what the cost is to get in?

I don't like money. I like how I can do almost everything with money. Anyway, that's a great museum. Its coin collection will surely make Uncle Scrooge envy.

I'd like to know more about the person who collected the coins. I can't imagine how long it would take to accumulate 35,000 coins. And I wonder what the collection is worth.
