Not to be outdone, the Chicago Fed has a museum as well. Unfortunately, their website says it's temporarily closed.

The Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is a great way to spend a morning or an afternoon for a no-cost learning adventure. It's located inside the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank which is one of a dozen federal reserve banks serving our nation.
Inside, you'll find dozens of exhibits about United States currency. You can view this display of one million dollars in $20 bills.
You can see money that isn't printed anymore, like this $5000 bill with James Madison on it. These haven't been printed since 1945.
You can also check out this cube of one million dollars in one dollar bills.
The Money Museum at the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank is a quick but enjoyable stop. When you depart, you will have learned some interesting facts and you will have some fun pictures to share with your friends. And, you'll probably think a bit more about the bills and change in your wallet next time you pay for a snack, too.
Address: Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, 230 S LaSalle St, Chicago, IL 60604, USA
