ATG letters: Money matters – museum’s name change is more accurate

The department now includes tokens, money boxes, and one of the largest collections of paper money in the world, as well as coins and medals. It is a more accurate and precise description of what is held by the department.

Different forms of currency

I can moan about the British Museum with the best of them but beg to differ with Daniel Fearon objecting to the ‘Coins and Medals’ department being renamed ‘Money and Medals’.

There were and are a lot of places in the world where currency is not in the form of coins.
