    I visited this Currency Museum recently and to be honest, I was quite disappointed. First of all, the location is just terrible. It's located right in a tourist area just like Petaling Street!! The '$' sign was not displayed on that day and the premises location is just not right. If I didn't know the museum was there, I would not have known. Secondly, not all Singaporean notes were displayed either. Some notes, especially those commemorative were omitted/missing. Thirdly, like you said, not all notes displayed are genuine. Of course his could be due to security reason, after all there is a temptation when one see a S$10,000 real stuff there! And finally, more statistics should be provided for notes issued, which was not. Did you forget to take a picture of that big Yap stone coin at the entrance? LOL! Have fun!
