  • =============================

The National Monetary Union began in 1976 with about 40 members and is a non-profit organization. It is now the biggest monetary institution (with about 350 active members) with the sole purpose of studying modern Greek coins, notes and medals. Although its headquarters are in Greece, members are in the entire world. Among them academics, experts in monetary, collectors and dealers collectible items.

What characterizes the National Monetary Union is the love of its members for the modern Greek currency and paper money. Essentially the Union functions as a "club of friends" in which every Sunday morning, meet dozens of friends of currency and monetary, laymen and experts.

The Monetary Union functions as a link between collectors and care to bring them together to promote their common hobby and the preservation and promotion of our cultural heritage and history. In this context, they organize periodic lectures, workshops and exhibitions while trying to further disseminate monetary inside and outside Greece.

Although its headquarters are in Greece, members are in the entire world. Among them academics, experts in monetary, collectors and dealers collectible items.

  GODDESS  :   A T H E N A  


In Greek religion and  mythologyAthena or Athene (Attic ἈθηνᾶAthēnā or Ἀθηναία,Athēnaia, Epic ἈθηναίηAthēnaiē, Ionic ἈθήνηAthēnē, Doric ἈθάναAthana), also referred to as Pallas Athena/Athene (Παλλὰς Ἀθηνᾶ; Παλλὰς Ἀθήνη), is the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. Minerva, Athena's Roman incarnation, embodies similar attributes. Athena is also a shrewd companion of  heroes and is the goddess of heroic endeavour. She is the virgin patron of Athens. The Athenians founded the Parthenon on the Acropolis of her namesake city, Athens (Athena Parthenos), in her honour.

Athena's veneration as the patron of Athens seems to have existed from the earliest times, and was so persistent that archaic myths about her were recast to adapt to cultural changes. In her role as a protector of the city (polis), many people throughout the Greek world worshiped Athena asAthena Polias (Ἀθηνᾶ Πολιάς "Athena of the city"). The city of Athens and the goddess Athena essentially bear the same name, "Athenai" meaning "[many] Athenas".
