The establishment, construction, and operation of the Bank of Greece in the interwar years transformed the political, economic, and urban landscape of Athens. Two historians, Ath. Lykogiannis and A. Vlachos, negotiate the parallel stories of the organization and the national currency, economist Haris Papamargaris recounts his own testimonial, the course of the people who worked there, and Nikos Vatopoulos observes the transformation in the commercial center of Athens from the construction of the central branch of the Bank. Rare photographs and significant archival material complete the chronicle of a timeless institution.
