The collection and the research of banknotes reveal also the beauty of the printing techniques made them. Lithography and intaglio printing give to banknotes high aesthetic value making them works of art.

Greek banknotes have a history of 180 years, starting from 1822 and finishing in 2002 when drachma was replaced by the common European currency, Euro.
