It's definitely on the list to check out if I ever plan a trip to the area. My favorite museum I've actually visited with respect to their coin collection is the ANA Money Museum in Colorado Springs.

They have various permanent exhibits that have a few coins but two of their traveling exhibits have had great coin displays. The most recent one was a Vikings exhibit that had an array of medieval coins and multiple entire hoards on display. A few years ago they had a "Mythological Creatures" exhibit which as you might imagine had various Greek and Roman coins with griffins, pegasi, medusae and other creatures with excellent displays and descriptions. It seemed like people really enjoyed them as it was one of the few times I've been in a museum and actually had to stand in line to look at a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
