The Coining House (Casa de la Moneda) in Segovia is one of the oldest surviving mint buildings in Europe, dating back to the 16th century. Housed in a historic industrial complex along the Eresma River, the museum showcases the evolution of coin production from hand-striking to modern machinery. Visitors can see original minting presses, dies, and coins, as well as interactive exhibits that explain the process of making money. The building itself is a highlight, with its Renaissance architecture and water-powered machinery that once harnessed the river. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the economic and technological history of Spain. It's a unique attraction that appeals to history buffs, numismatists, and anyone curious about how money is made.
