Bitcoin Exhibit Hosted at the Smithsonian Museum

Bitcoin has been included in its own section within the Value of Money exhibit showcase by the Numismatic Association at the Smithsonian Museum, for the National Numismatic Collection.
There’s a general description of cryptocurrencies, along with a picture of the exchange rate of bitcoin to/from USD for the year 2014, considered by mainstream media to be one of Bitcoin’s worst years.
Also featured are a physical copy of Bitcoin Magazine from 2014, a Square card reader, and a smartphone with the capability of managing a variety of digital currencies.
The exhibit includes 400 pieces, among them a 1933 Double Eagle, a personal check signed by President James Madison in 1813, credit cards, a Yap Island stone, a 1934 $100,000 note, in addition to bitcoin, and illustrates the development of the concept of money as it has changed and been interpreted while society has developed over the years.
