Newark Museum "Money Exhibit"

Verne Walrafen has a little piece up about a family friendly interactive
exhibit concerning the history of money that is opening at the Newark
Museum.
Verne's angle, as usual, is to relate the connection between it and the
Gallery Mint Museum (GMM), who leased the exhibit a screw coin press. Ron
Landis designed some special dies for the folks to make their own coins
there.
To find out more about the GMM involvement and links to the Newark Museum's
website, please see the link below.
Might make a nice day trip for the fam for those living in the NY/NJ metro
area.

All in all, it is a pretty nice little effort.
