The topic of this podcast episode is the information and education centre Moneterra – Money Museum of the Croatian National Bank, which is celebrating its first anniversary. Moneterra was established to bring the central bank closer to the public and spread financial literacy among citizens of all generations. The director of Moneterra, Ines Merkl, explains what this museum is about, what its visitors can learn and why they should visit it.

With the opening of Moneterra, the CNB has joined a number of other central banks that, through money museums or visitor centers, bring topics related to money, economics and personal finances closer to the general public and thus encourage the spread of financial literacy.

In addition to numerous CNB experts, over 200 experts in the fields of architecture, design, audio-visual communications, economics and museology worked on the project.

Moneterra is an extremely interactive museum. Visitors can play games (specify, for example, bartering, hidden kuna, simulator) and quizzes and they can also spin the global money time machine to learn more about the history and future of money, as well as about banking and personal finances, in a simple and stimulating way.
