Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 200 Euros (Demokritos) 2016 coin from Greece is that it features an image of the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus, who is considered the father of atomic theory. Democritus believed that matter was composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms, which could not be created or destroyed, but only rearranged. This idea was revolutionary for its time and laid the foundation for modern atomic theory. The coin's design honors Democritus' contributions to science and philosophy.
