<p>[QUOTE="valente151, post: 1511069, member: 27564"]On the way from Maine to Florida, I Stopped in DC for an hour to check out their "Stories on Money" exhibit at the National Museum of American History. The last time I hav visited the exhibit was still under construction, so I was really excited to look at it. </p><p>Overall, I think they did a great job. There was actaully more interest than I would have suspected and I overheard many visitors first gasping in amazement at the really cool stuff, like the large half unions and the 100,000 bill and going on to read and learn about the coins or notes. Also overheard were things like, "Dont we have one of those in the jar at home" when seeing the steel cents. Overall, I think the exhibit is pretty productive for expanding the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are pictures of the outside of the exhibit. At only 7 cases, it is pretty small, considering the size of the NNC, but it does look promising that there will be a much larger exhibit in the coming years.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-XnJATnNmAiQ/UCrvswloVVI/AAAAAAAAInY/QEPjp_ciGMU/s640/Smith01.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-BiMB-shFpLI/UCrvswzAz-I/AAAAAAAAInc/kfjg8oKpb50/s640/Smith02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the video that was played at the entrance.
