Money Museum Of China

There is also a "national word head" museum on the west side of Tiananmen Square. Speaking of the museums around Tiananmen Square, everyone will definitely think of the "national museum" immediately. Tourists who go to Tiananmen Square often also arrange the itinerary to visit the National Expo by the way. In fact, it is on the west side of Tiananmen Square. In Xijiaomin Lane, there is another museum that is also the "national letterhead", that is the Chinese coin museum. Xijiaomin Lane is located on the west side of Tiananmen Square in the south. It was called "Xijiang Mi Lane" during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the longest alley in Beijing. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Min, Dongjiaomin Lane adjacent to Xijiaomin Lane became an area set up by foreign banks. This also prompted the emergence and gradually developed of Chinese banks began to open institutions in Xijiaomin Lane, and now there are relics of the old site such as the Bank of the Daqing Hubu, the Central Bank of Beiping, the China Agricultural and Industrial Bank, Beijing mainland Bank, Beiyang Baoshang Bank and other sites in Xijiaomin Lane. However, although the passenger flow in Tiananmen Square is always very huge, but tourists are mainly based on tourism teams, to follow the tour guide, a small number of individual tourists seem to be not interested in the west side of the square, this is not noisy and lively alley, at most in the alley mouth facing the former Beijing mainland bank site The clock tower building took a photo and then stopped walking down the alley. Today, the "China Coin Museum" is next to the clock tower in Xijiaomin Lane, and it is also a Western-style building. This building was built in the 1930s and was originally the former site of Beiyang Baoshang Bank. It has been nearly a hundred years of history. Visiting the museum is free, but you have to make an appointment through the public account or scan the code on the spot. The previous article mentioned that it is not very concerned, so the on-site appointment is usually not a big problem. I heard from the staff that the school organizes a visit or parents take their children to visit on holidays. In addition to the basic display, the museum often opens some exhibitions. Today, I came to find a "precious metal commemorative coin exhibition on the first floor", which displays commemorative coins issued corresponding to major historical events in each period. The area of the exhibition is small, and it may be finished in ten minutes. But the souvenir coins on display are all very meaningful and exquisite, and it is worth a closer look. "The general history of Chinese currency" should be a basic display, upstairs, occupy two floors, to take the stairs upstairs, this building itself is a cultural relics category, walking is still quite a sense of history. The basic display starts with the shell coins, in the order of the dynasties, and introduces the development of coins in various periods in Chinese history in great detail until the emergence of RMB, the exhibits are very rich, especially the ancient money-making "copper fan" is really the first time to see it, it is really eye-opening. Through the development and changes of coins in many aspects such as shape, material, casting process, style design and so on over thousands of years, it can be seen that China's social, political, economic, people's livelihood, diplomacy, culture, art and technological level has been continuously improved. It can be said that the whole visit process is not only a general view of the history of coins, but also another warm and old history of China, and the visit has benefited a lot.

The China Coin Museum is near the General Assembly Hall. You can take the subway to Anmen West or Qianmen Station and walk there. The museum is not too big, the theme is very concentrated, it is the introduction of the history of Chinese currency development, with tourists to reminisce about Chinese history, recommended to bring children together. The deep impression is Qin half two, Han five baht. I went during May Day. There are many people in Tiananmen area and there are more controls. It is best to go on weekdays.
