The Singapore Coins and Notes Museum is celebrating it’s 1 Year anniversary on 1st July and because of that, entrance is free from 3 to 5 July! It’s normally $10 for an adult and $6 for Students/NSF/Senior Citizens and Children to enter. The Museum is located at a very hard to find location, 2 Trengganu Street, which has it’s entrance at Pagoda Street. It’s around China Town area in short.
(The AOA stands for Ash On Air. I’m starting to put Watermarks on my Pictures) 
If you are headed to the Museum look out for this Coffee Shop. It’s right above it. If you can’t spot it, it is opposite the Chinatown Heritage Centre.
It’s an Old Style place with an Old Style Elevator. It rocks! (but it is VERY slow)
So once there, what’s there to do? Well, you can watch a video on Singapore and the Coins and Notes in the Video Room or look around and look at Coins, Notes and More. There is 2 floors to the place, level 3 and level 4. Here’s some of the things you can see.
Cool eh?
Well, the best part of this place has got to be the “Coin” Minting Machine!!

“Coin” Minting Machine
Enjoy your very own minting experience over at Singapore Coins and Notes Museum. You do not only get to view the machine operates, you get to bring home a piece of our museum’s souvenir. Be sure to try it out on your own as you only get to experience this machine at our Singapore Coins and Notes Museum.
Now, this is the most AWESOME part of the Museum. Minting your OWN coin. Now there’s 2 way of getting to do this:-
a)Play their game at the Museum and Answer their questions. If you get 10 or more points, you get take a slip of paper in a lucky draw. If you are lucky enough, you’ll get 1 free coin to mint!
b)Pay $2 to mint the coin
How awesomely awesome? So what do you get when you mint the coin? You get a nice Red Velvet string bag and a blank disc which will soon become YOUR coin.
I took a video of the process! It’s really fun!
I went to get 5 coins. 1 was from the game and I got it for free. The other 4 I went to buy them. Why have so many coins? They are bigger than the 50 Cents coin and have a nice Merlion head. I’m going to use them for my Coin Magic!! 
They feel so nice! These coins are NOT LEGAL TENDER and have NO MONETARY VALUE. They are only souvenirs.
Here’s the coins. I got 5 of the coins and 5 velvet red string bags.
Actually, that was my sole purpose to go there. 
Get the coins for my Coin Magic. They are so nice, shiny, thin and big! So those Singapore Magicians out there, these are an alternative to US Half Dollars!
Here’s some random photos:
A $10000 note is HUGE!!
