OREANDA-NEWS. On April 30, 2008 Deputy Governor of Eesti Pank Marten Ross opened a travelling exhibition "The Estonian Money from the Mark to the Euro" at Rakvere Reaalgumnaasium, reported the press-centre of Eesti Pank. 

As part of the celebrations dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the Republic of Estonia, June has been declared the month of Eesti Pank. In connection with this, Eesti Pank continues to display its travelling exhibition in different places of Estonia. The exhibition introduces the four currencies of Estonia: the mark, the kroon, the kroon introduced in 1992, and the euro. The exhibition is displayed in five different locations in Estonia during May and June. In addition, it will be presented at the National History Museum of Latvia. The exhibitions are opened and introduced by members of the Executive Board of Eesti Pank.

"The Estonian kroon is one of the most significant symbols of independence for Estonians and each of us has something to do with money every day. Being familiar with the history of money helps us better understand the meaning of money in the development of the economy," Marten Ross said.

The display is the result of cooperation between Eesti Pank and Ivar Leimus. The exhibition was designed by Tiit Jurna.

It is also possible to see different currencies that have been circulating in Estonia at the Museum of Eesti Pank, which is open from Wednesday to Friday 12.00-17.00 and on Saturdays 11.00-16.00.
