Banknote Museum of the Ionian Bank

The only museum of its kind in Greece and the most interesting of its type in the world. Opened in 1981 by the Ionian Bank, it displays a huge collection of banknotes, as well as printing dies, proofs, bank documents, stamps, etc. It also reproduces in great detail the process by which modern banknotes are produced: the engraving of the master on the metal plates, the manufacture of the special paper, the method by which the watermark is incorporated, the finishing touches with modern printing machinery, the storage and distribution of banknotes.
