Last week Pete Smith enumerated Money Museums in the United States, past and present. Here are some reader notes on the topic. -Editor

Dahlonega Gold Museum in Dahlonega, Georgia

I should clarify Pete's comments regarding the Newman Money Museum, which was operated from 2006-2018 in the Kemper Art Building on the Washington University campus in St. Louis. The Museum was closed in 2018. Today, Olin Library, on the same campus, periodically features numismatic exhibits in the Newman Tower exhibit gallery, which is located on the main floor of the library. A new group of such exhibits will be opening in mid-January, and more information will be forthcoming on this topic.

Great list of money museums!

Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is at 230 S. LaSalle Street.

Chicago History Museum is at 1601 N. Clark St (which is actually the SW corner of Lincoln Park) but GPS might do better with the address.

I was so happy to read the list of museums last week, it definitely put a few on my bucket list I have never heard about. Though probably Howard Berlin knows them all, as I understand he by far didn't cover all the museums of the world in his Numismatourist book.

I would like to contribute a few more items to the list, which I have personally visited and mostly written about.

I think the only major miss here was the Coin Gallery of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which has a huge and extensive collection. Here is a direct link to the collection:

And what I wrote about my visit:

The rest of the museums I know are much smaller, but I feel they would be worth mentioning:

The Ottilia Buerger collection and more items at the Lawrence University in Appleton, Wysconsin. Their web site is:
https://library.artstor.org/#/collection/87732176

I wrote about their coin petting zoo project at:

The New Orleans Mint Museum. It is at the bottom of the Jazz Museum, if you ask me it is rather underwhelming, but certainly deserves a place on the list. Their site is:
https://louisianastatemuseum.org/museum/new-orleans-jazz-museum-old-us-mint

And what I wrote about it, probably my least interesting article, but in a way a different documentation of my numismatic venturing:

The last one is a small collection at the Allen Memorial Art Museum, in Oberlin, Ohio. I have not been at the collection itself yet, but I personally met the curator a few weeks ago, so I have evidence that it exists.

I hope it adds some useful information to Pete's great collection.

Thanks, everyone. I've passed these on to Pete for the next iteration of his list. See his new article in this issue, where he takes a look at our sister hobby - philatelic museums in the U.S. How many are there? Read on to find out.

Howard Berlin's 2014 book, The Numismatourist opens with a great review of the current money museums in the U.S. and goes on to cover the world in the bulk of the book. Pete reaches back into history to cover U.S. money museums that have closed their doors. Great work all around. -Editor
