As South Africa’s only money and banking museum, a trip to the Absa Money Museum is an outing not to be missed!
Situated in the stylish Absa Towers West building in the heart of the cultural metropolis that is the Johannesburg CBD, the Money Museum is home to the most complete collection of South African numismatic items in the world.
When we think of money, we generally think of coins, banknotes, credit cards and cheques, but in the past people traded with commodity money, like salt, seashells, metal and animals. The museum’s history stretched back to the beginnings of trade in Johannesburg, and the dynamic displays include ranges of early money forms (such as Cowrie Shells and Venetian glass beads) through to gold coins retrieved from sunken ships.
Of course, the Absa Money Museum also covers the history of the banking giant in depth, and one can trace the history of Absa and the development of money in South Africa and its financial history.
The museum is open Monday to Friday, 08:30 – 16:00 and access is free. Please remember to bring your ID for entry into the building. A tour guide is provided for groups (maximum of 15 people and booking is essential), and the Museum also specialises in tours for the hearing impaired.

Absa offers excellent opportunities for those who are passionate about helping people achieve their ambitions in the right way.
We hire people at all stages of their career – from trainees and graduates to experienced senior leaders- who all work together to make Absa the ‘Go To’ Bank that
we are striving to become.
Here at Absa, we’re about to take an exciting step towards unlocking our destiny on the continent. Our UK holding company, Barclays PLC, is selling some of their shares to investors, offering us the opportunity to grow a truly African bank. So, if you have any questions as the sell-down progresses, this is where we’ll answer them.
And the best bit about this? You don’t need to do anything except carry on with your banking the same way you always have, as we work to make your experience even better. So, although we’re changing the structure of the business, we’ll make sure that you continue to prosper.Learn More
