The Museo Casa de Moneda (Spanish for Mint Museum) is a numismatics museum located in La Candelaria neighborhood of Bogotá, Colombia. It is managed by the Bank of the Republic of Colombia and used to display its numismatic collection that is composed by around 18,600 objects that include artwork, banknotes, bonds, coins, derivatives, medals, negotiable instruments, and printing instruments from various periods and regions of the world.
The museum is located in the same building that served as the main mint for the New Kingdom of Granada, New Granada and modern-day Colombia between 1621 and 1987. Coin minting was moved to the Fábrica de Moneda in Ibagué in 1987.
The Museo Casa de Moneda is part of the Banrepcultural Network along with the Botero Museum, the Gold Museum, the Luis Ángel Arango Library, and the Miguel Urrutia Art Museum in Bogotá.
