Interesting fact
The Dimocritos coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it is not intended for general circulation and is instead produced in limited quantities for collectors. It was minted in 2016 by the Bank of Greece to commemorate the 2,500th anniversary of the birth of Democritus, a Greek philosopher who is considered one of the founders of atomic theory. The coin's design features an image of Democritus on one side and the Greek goddess Athena on the other, symbolizing the connection between philosophy and wisdom.
