<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2575042, member: 39&quot;]Wow, great! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> When I went to the KNM, it was always for a Dag van de Munt (Open Mint Day), and the place was packed. Yes, Utrecht is certainly worth a visit - great mix of medieval and modern (Amsterdam School, De Stijl) architecture, and a nice atmosphere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately the Money Museum (in the same building as the mint) never really &quot;worked&quot;. It was founded in 2007 as a combination of the former Mint Museum, the Penningkabinet Leiden, and the central bank&#039;s museum, but closed in 2013. And the Numismatic Collection (NNC) that replaced it cannot be visited ...</p><p><br /></p><p>The Dutch government provides some information about the sale of the mint to Heylen (in Dutch) <a href="https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/ministeries/ministerie-van-financien/nieuws/2016/11/22/koninklijke-nederlandse-munt-verkocht%5B2%5D" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/ministeries/ministerie-van-financien/nieuws/2016/11/22/koninklijke-nederlandse-munt-verkocht%5B2%5D" rel="nofollow">here</a>, and in <a href="https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/binaries/rijksoverheid/documenten/kamerstukken/2016/11/22/kamerbrief-verkoop-koninklijke-nederlandse-munt/kamerbrief-verkoop-koninklijke-nederlandse-munt.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/binaries/rijksoverheid/documenten/kamerstukken/2016/11/22/kamerbrief-verkoop-koninklijke-nederlandse-munt/kamerbrief-verkoop-koninklijke-nederlandse-munt.pdf" rel="nofollow">this</a> PDF file.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
