An exhibition showcasing the development of Estonian currency was unveiled at the Estonia Pavilion yesterday afternoon.
The exhibit is called "Estonian Paper Money and Estonian Coins." It displays the mark, the kroon introduced in 1928, the kroon reintroduced in 1992 and the euro, which will replace the kroon on January 1, 2011.
The kroon succeeded the mark in 1928 and was in use until the Soviet invasion in 1940, after which it was replaced by the Soviet ruble. Upon regaining independence in 1992 the kroon was reintroduced.
The pavilion boasts a colorful exterior which displays the unique ideas and great wisdom of Estonian people to protect their environment. Inside the pavilion, future, travel destinations, business opportunities and culture during the development of Estonian cities are showcased with "piggy banks," "digital notebooks" and interactive touch screens.
