The Museum exhibits the first banknotes printed by the British firms Perkins Bacon and Bradbury Wilkins. The collection also includes the notes printed by the American Banknote Company, which succeeded the British firms at the turn of the century until about 1928. After that, the Bank of Greece undertook the printing of the banknotes itself.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-v1fs1z8-69935af5a94e8ef28406e4acd93f1be8\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-v1fs1z8-69935af5a94e8ef28406e4acd93f1be8{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-v1fs1z8-69935af5a94e8ef28406e4acd93f1be8 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ltofgzef-c8abc4627f7992203797351a1505bdf3 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Greece\u2019s Largest Banknote Denomination<\/h2>\n<p>Banknotes that were issued by the Germans and Italians who occupied Greece during World War II are shown as examples of banknotes issued during 1944, the notorious year of hyperinflation that produced Greece\u2019s largest banknote denomination\u2014100 billion (American, 100 trillion) drachmas.<\/p>\n<p>The Museum has a complete series of the last issue of the banknotes of the member countries of the euro area prior to their replacement by the euro.
