Lonely Planet review

Anything but a dreary accountant's fantasy, the fabulous Royal Coin Cabinet sparkles with a priceless collection of world-turning currency, including Viking silver, the world's oldest coin (created in Greece in BC 625), as well as its heaviest (a copper plate weighing 19.7kg). The exhibitions are innovative, the kids' playroom is fun and the kitsch collection of piggybanks is worth the trip alone.

Information and floor plans are available in English and there's also a cafe and souvenir shop.
