On November 24th of 1955, on his 36th birthday, Mario Odor, Aruba ’s famous coin collector, was digging in his flower garden when he found two old coins. One of them was a one penny of 1790 and one half-penny of 1788, both of them where “Tradesmen” copper Irish tokens. This was the sign to him that collecting was his duty and he took this very seriously by educate members of his family in the tradition of coin collecting. Today his wife, son, daughters and granddaughter are still managing his legacy at the Numismatic Museum of Aruba. You might be welcomed by his next generations who will gladly guide you through this spectacle of money history.

Collection

Timeline 1499- present:  coins circulated in the Caribbean in a time when colonists, traders, merchants and even pirates traveled the seas. The two coins he found sparkled Mario’s idea of keep collecting coins and papermoney, without stopping, ever, till the day he died.  His son and granddaughter, both Numismatists, took his idea to another level and made researches to present Aruba ’s timeline through Numismatics.

The Aruba Numismatic Museum was established in 1975 and lodges the private collection of Mr. Odor and is the first museum established on Aruba .

The museum contains over 45.000 different pieces covering over 400 countries. This fantastic collection contains approximately over 110 different collections on their own, for example: primitive, strange, zoo, proof, counter stamp, over struck, mini, chop-coins, errors, leprosarium, gold, ration, F.A.O. dollars & crowns, commemoratives, center holed, scalloped, square, wooden-coins, tokens, medals, food-coupons and much more.
