Visitors can see the banknotes and coins that have been in circulation for the last hundred years: the pengő, issued on the 1st of January in 1927, which was initially redeemable for Swiss francs at a rate of one to one, but then left circulation with world record-breaking hyperinflation. Also, the forint, which was first introduced in Hungary on the 1st of August in 1946 and is still our legal tender and national currency. Its birth was largely due to the central bank's gold reserves, which were saved and brought home on the famous gold train.
The exhibition is interspersed with digital attractions and films. The exhibition, like the Money Museum, will be free of charge.
