Bank of England Museum

[Sword]

I had a spare hour yesterday in London and dropped into the Bank of England Museum. It is a small museum but has some good displays including sets of coins for each monarch (from QEII to W&M) + some hammered coins. The coins were stored in wooden display cases with glass tops which allowed close viewing.

Highlights include 1935 gold crown, Charles I Pound, circulated 1839 £5 etc.

I'm visiting the UK this year and may pay the museum a visit. Is the museum part of the B of E or located elsewhere?

[Sword]

Yes, it is part of the B of E Building.

The Una and the Lion looks a bit ropey

[Nicholas]

I'm visiting London early June... Will include on my visit..

The 1935 is a looker for a rocking horse.

[Danz]

It's as rare as rocking horse sh*t.

A good Aussie saying!

Talking about the Land of Aus, I think there is a holy dollar on display too. But I could be wrong and saw the dollar in the British Museum instead.

[Sword]

I meant holely dollar of course.

No you didn't - you meant holey dollar

Try again. Third time lucky.

That was to add the second line, not correct the response.
