The new one euro coin of my country.


Nowadays, the one euro coin in Greece features an owl which stands for wisdom and it is the symbol for the godess Athena. I do not know why it was selected but I would prefer somehting else to be featured on it.
I believe that the temple of Parthenon should be featured on the new one euro coin. It is located to the Akropolis in Athens and it is a structure with a great historical and cultural importance. In the acient years when there were not any highly tecnologically developed machines, people managed to construct this temple which has been existing until today. That is the reason why it is the most important landmark in Greece and attracts so many people globally to come and see it.
I suggest this building to be featured on the new one euro coin because by putting it on the coin, people will see it daily and they will not forget our historical monuments and decide to go to see and explore them. Also, I think that it is totally sensible to show our most important structure on our coin especially when it is included in the most nice and importand structures made worldwide.
In conclusion, I believe that the temple of Parthenon should be put on the new one euro coin because of it's cultural and historical importance in order to remind people our country's cultural heritage.
