'''China Currency Museum''' is a special national museum affiliated to the central bank of [[People's Bank of China]]. It focuses on the collection, exhibition and study of currencies.

The museum has basic displays and special exhibitions. The former is placed in the currency showroom inside the headquarters of People's Bank of China. Because the basic displays are inside the office building of the bank, the audience should reserve the time for visit.

The museum houses nearly 300,000 items of currency or relevant cultural relics.
