Museum on the Mound
Money explored
Money is something most of us consider a fair bit, but not the way this modest museum does.
Here brief and well-thought-out displays look at money's history – touching on art and design, technology, trade, security and forgeries.
There's also the chance to examine Scotland’s oldest surviving banknote; see what a £1 million in genuine Bank of Scotland notes looks like; and learn the principles of cracking a safe!
