Modern people cannot imagine their lives without money. The history of its emergence dates back to ancient times. Many interesting facts about the money used in the past have survived to this day. For example, the lightest coin in the world is the Nepalese silver coin, issued approximately in 1740. Its weight is from 0.008 to 0.014 grams. In addition, this coin was sometimes cut into pieces for small purchases. The smallest banknote in the world was issued in 1917 by the Ministry of Finance of Romania. This banknote worth 10 bani had a size of 2.75x3.8 cm. In one part of the world they began issuing small-sized money, and in another – on the contrary. The largest Russian coin was issued by order of Catherine I in 1725. It is a large square copper ruble measuring 18x18 cm, 5 mm thick. The coin weighed 1 kg 636 g. The heaviest coin in the world is the Swedish copper plate with a denomination of 10 dollars issued in 1644. Its weight is 19.71 kg. This interesting information could be viewed at the exhibition "The World of Money," which recently opened in the lobby of CB "Zakhidinkombank." Holding such events for the employees of the banking institution has already become a tradition. The exhibition displays coins from many countries of the world: Angola, Brazil, Belarus, Cuba. A large collection of paper money that has already become history is presented: hryvnias of the Ukrainian Republic (1918), rubles of Tsarist Russia. By the way, at the beginning of the 20th century, paper kopecks were in circulation on the territory of the Russian state. The so-called "substitutes" for money are widely represented, reminiscent of the recent past – state loan bonds, consumer coupons, food product vouchers, exchange checks. Where there is money, there are also wallets. The exhibition presents various samples of these essential attributes for storing material goods, and interesting facts from the history of the emergence of wallets are made public. The organizers hope that the exhibition will interest a wide range of visitors, because the history of the emergence of money is an integral part of the history of humanity.
