Chase Manhattan Bank Money Museum, Currency museum at Rockefeller Center, Manhattan, United States.
The Chase Manhattan Bank Money Museum contained exhibits of wampum, ancient coins, paper money, and diverse forms of international currency.
The museum started in 1928 when Chase National Bank purchased a collection from numismatist Farran Zerbe, who became its first curator.
The museum collection included an enormous stone coin from Yap Island, representing different forms of exchange across global civilizations.
The institution prepared traveling exhibits that circulated through bank branches in New York until its closure in 1977.
The collection contained a check written on a silk parachute and another inscribed on metal that was canceled using a submachine gun.
