Money and Society

The relationship between people and money in various periods of time is explored via philosophy, literature and history and presented in Η. Schliemann’s summer office. The strong international coins that dominated extensive geographical areas for large periods of time are exhibited, such as the daric and the Athenian tetradrachm, the Byzantine solidus, the Arabic dirham, the Venetian ducat, the Spanish thaler, the British pound, the American dollar and the euro. Economic phenomena, like inflation and devaluation, are being considered as well as the impact of metal supply on coin production.
