In the heart of the medieval village of Saillon, in the cultural Stella Helvetica, the original Musée de la Fausse Monnaie (Museum of Counterfeit Money) offers a complete panorama of the history of money in Switzerland, both real and counterfeit. The museum is divided into three sections: "authentic money", the only reference against which counterfeits can be understood; a journey through history and an overview of current banknote manufacturing techniques. Counterfeit money": a look at the history of forgeries and the terrible punishments incurred, followed by a presentation of contemporary cases using material seized by the Confederation's police authorities. "Farinet", the emblematic figure of the counterfeiter with a heart of gold; the Friends of Farinet present this hero, between myth and reality.
