Old Money For Sale

A new store has recently opened in Palm Beach featuring a showroom full of money!

The Grand Opening of Arcade Currency Palace occurred last Saturday night. Inside the store are glass cases full of old money dating back to the 1860's. Some of the coins and notes are worth more than $50 million dollars.

The storeowners call it a way to preserve history, but also an investment. You can buy the old money or invest and watch your money grow.

There are only two other showrooms like it in the world. One in Tarpon Springs near Tampa and the other in Turkey.

You can visit the store on the island from Monday - Saturday : 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
