The Stars of the Czech Money
Four men and two women that we touch daily. Who are the sons and daughters of the nation picked in 1993 to appear on the most prominent educational tool - the banknotes.
The Emperor Charles IV., the lead teacher & religious leader Jan Amos Comenius, the fist famous Czech female writer Božena Němcová, deeply respected politician and historian František Palacký, famous opera singer Emma Destinnová and the very first Czechoslovak president Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. Replacing the heroes of the Communist era. The leaders in their fields. Walking in their footprints, hearing their life stories.
Have you ever thought about using the wallet as your lecture book?
