A specialist museum inside the Reserve Bank of India's Mumbai premises, tracing the history of Indian currency from ancient punch-marked coins through Mughal, colonial and post-independence banknotes and coinage. Exhibits include rare and demonetised notes, coin-minting technology and displays on the RBI's own history since its founding in 1935. It offers a niche but genuinely informative look at India's monetary evolution. Entry is free, making it an accessible stop for numismatics enthusiasts.
Did you know? The RBI Monetary Museum displays India's very first coin issued after independence alongside ancient punch-marked coins over 2,500 years old, tracing the entire monetary history of the subcontinent under one roof.
