Locaton: Hall B2 and B2 basementCounterfeit forged money from Antiquity till today
At Collecta Moro & Kunst company together with the Numismatics Association of Slovenia will put on display conterfeits of world investment and numismatic coins. Counterfeits are mainly of two kinds: counterfeits of actual paying means to be circulating in the paying system that goes back to Antiquity, and those of coins from ancient times meant for collectors and numismatists. This kind of money counterfeiting started in the Renaissance and today, thanks to new technologies, has reached extreme levels. A separated group is composed by conterfeits meant for investors, in this case counterfeiting concerns metal weight and cleaness.
Coins put on display belong to different periods: from 413/406 B.C. in Siicily to 34 B.C. in the Roman Republic, up to the 1614 double tolar and to other modern counterfeits from the Kingdom of Italy, Yugoslavia, etc...and from Mexico and China.

Picture by picture
exhibition of albums with 20th century pictures depicting our homeland from Austria-Hungary until today
Sebastjan Adešič started collecting when he was very young (back in 1972) when, as he says, his mother helped him to fill in his first albums meant for collecting animal pictures. While visiting the basement again, where many of its collection items had been lying in boxes without any particular storage, Sebastjan Adešič realized he still had many memories of that particular period of collecting.
At the exhibition he will share with Collecta visitors his passion, a passion that burst out again.

Pyrite can contain gold admixture, in fact during the decay process, when limonite is forming, it discharges gold and concentrates in quantities important for industry. The most beautiful crystals are known to be from Spain, Peru, Italy and quite frequently from Slovenia too.

Most frequently, traces of foliage plant leaves and coniferous tree twigs. Fruits, seeds and flowers can rarely be preserved. Fossil wood is an especially interesting kind of wood plant remains.

Phone cards – use and communication
