Coin Museum

The Coin Museum is a numismatic museum in Luanda, Angola, displaying a broad collection of Angolan coins, banknotes, and monetary objects. The building houses these items alongside information about how payment systems in the country changed over time.

The museum documents the development of payment methods in Angola, from Zimbo shells to modern Kwanza currency. This collection traces how trade and economic systems changed over centuries.

The exhibitions show how different forms of payment like salt, ivory, and copper were used and valued in Angolan society. Visitors can see how these objects fit into everyday life and what they meant to people.

The location sits on 4 de Fevereiro Avenue and is open Monday through Friday, with Wednesday opening later than other weekdays. Visitors should plan their timing accordingly to make the most of their visit.

The building was constructed using exclusively Angolan materials and design, honoring local craftsmanship and resources. This choice makes the architecture itself part of the story the museum tells.
