The exhibits displayed at the National Museum of Mongolia vary from coins of ancient Mongol empires, pre-revolutionary coins and bullions used for foreign payments, the ‘Baga bolzoot’ note from Bogd Khaan government, Danzan’s dollar intended to be issued shortly after the Mongolian revolution to coins and banknotes of the period between nineteen twenty five to eighty three 1925-83 period of Mongolian People’s Republic. Despite the fact that Mongolia has a rich history of currencies and coins, a lot of materials and documents disappeared along with the banknotes and coins due to the nomadic lifestyle.

The exhibition displays rare and unpresented exhibits from the State Fund of Treasures of Bank of Mongolia, Treasury of the National Museum, personal collections of collectors and members of the Mongolian Association of Numismatics.
