Based in a bank building in Heroes Square, Corfu Town, this museum walks people through the history of Greece using banknotes to illustrate the socioeconomic developments from 1822 to the modern day. Inside are interactive displays on note production and collections of final notes printed in various European Union states before converting to the Euro.

A fascinating alternative view of Greece and rewarding exhibits for those interested in printing and design, not just those who collect currencies.
