This is where the rouble, or thaler, rolls! The Münze Museum in the medieval Hasegg Castle tells of a time when Hall was one of the most important centers of coin minting in Europe. The original taler was minted here and, thanks to Tyrol's first roller minting machine, 4,000 coins were processed every day.
The small, medieval town of Hall near Innsbruck is the birthplace of the Thaler and the Dollar, and its former mint became famous throughout the world. The museum here shows the development of coinage and the local silver-mining industry upon which it relied. The reconstruction of a full-size, former minting machine brings the past to life, and this can all be experienced within the original medieval walls. Why not climb the mint's tower, with its abundant history and extensive views over the Inn Valley? Please note: The Innsbruck Card only includes admission to the mint without the mint tower.
