FINANCIAL CENTURY 100 years of the Magyar Nemzeti Bank

FINANCIAL CENTURY 100 years of the Magyar Nemzeti Bank

27. April 2024. - 15. December 2024.

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.

Ticket information

Our museum can be visited free of charge. We kindly ask our dear visitors to arrive at the venue at least 20 minutes before their booked time! The entrance to the Money Museum can be accessed from Sándy Gyula alley.
