The 455 attendees raised $1.5 million for the museum. Yet its collection -- which includes a bond signed by George Washington, a ticker tape from the 1929 stock market crash and early examples of U.S. currency -- languishes in temporary storage in Georgia after spending several years in the Queens borough of New York City.

Its previous home at 48 Wall Street was itself a part of financial history, serving as the original headquarters of the Bank of New York founded by Alexander Hamilton. The museum opened in 2008 on the eve of the global financial crisis. While it awaits a permanent space, the museum has digitized 500 boxes containing 300,000 pages, while 835 of its objects have also been processed by archivists.
