Comment
The Story of the Exodus is one of the most amazing parts of the Bible. How the ten plagues befall Egypt and Moses guides his people to the Holy Land parting the Red Sea on the way was retold in uncounted books and brought several times on the big cinema screen. The highlight of the coin, besides the artwork of the relief, is the nano chip, a high tech product of computer industry. On the chip belonging to this coin there is a part of the book Exodus from the Old Testament of the Bible beneath a picture of Moses. The single letters, visible only under microscope, are perfectly sharp. No Laser could produce such a precision; to create the letters the surface is shooted with single electrons. The chip only melts if temperature reaches a level above 1,000 degrees celsius.
