Proposed Expansions
- An individual in the royal family may donate pound sterling from a visit to the United Kingdom in late 2019.
- A second individual in the royal family intends to donate colónes from a visit to Costa Rica in early 2020.
- As the museum is owned by the Naverian royal family, it is likely that any Naverian flags purchased or created in the future will be added to the museum.
