It reopened in June 2012, renamed as the Citi Money Gallery under the sponsorship of Citi Bank for the next six years. The transformed gallery has over eight wall-mounted displays and additional floor mounted displays holding over 1,000 objects as the Museum\u2019s major permanent exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>The displays on one side of the gallery\u2019s wall deal with how money is used in finance, in addition to its cultural significances. Displays progress chronologically through the history of money starting with \u201cThe Beginnings of Money\u2014Egypt and Mesopotamia (2500-100 BC)&#8221;, along with how money has been made using different forms and metals.<\/p>\n<p>The displays on the opposite wall of the gallery are concerned with the institutions that placed money into circulation and guaranteed its value.<\/p>\n<p>Six floor mounted displays examine the manufacture of money, such as a 1960s geometric lathe from the USA, and cast money in clay molds from the Han dynasty (China, 206 BC-220 AD). The counting of money is illustrated using a 1800s counting board from Travancore, India. One example of several discovered hoards on display is the Corbridge Hoard of Northumberland (c. 160 AD) of 160 gold aurei in a bronze jug.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-t7avmhy-0d19d1293e8707fc2eddc2d592d52e62\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-t7avmhy-0d19d1293e8707fc2eddc2d592d52e62{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-t7avmhy-0d19d1293e8707fc2eddc2d592d52e62 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lu8k8366-53872ee6c96a7e62e464b38d72ed4380 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Several Interesting Displays<\/h2>\n<p>The curating staff has put together several interesting displays.
