Central bank staff Ramun\u0117 explains visitors about the process of identifying and restoring damaged money<\/em><\/p>\n Storing money in cellars or even kilns is quite common among senior citizens in Lithuania, since this generation\u2032s experience of turbulent times makes them less trusting of banks. Sometimes their savings rot, burn or are damaged in other ways. The central bank has labs to identify whether the money is not counterfeited, to count them and compensate their owners.<\/p>\n Along with many other visitors, I also used the chance to climb into this high-security vehicle, which is used for transporting euros. According to the staff, there have never been attempts to break into these vehicles.<\/p>\n The building is listed as protected cultural heritage. It represents a unique style of the interwar era, when things were still produced to last.<\/p>\n This authentic Otis elevator was built in the 1920s. It still works.<\/p>\n Some of the furniture were made in the 1920s and still look like new. This armchair has lion feet.<\/p>\n A luxurious residence was built on the third floor for the prime minister of that time, Augustinas Valdemaras. Clearly, he felt that sky is the limit for him.<\/p>\n Now the rooms are equipped with computers, and administrators of the bank\u2032s branch are using these fancy offices.<\/p>\n![\"Visitors](\"http:\/\/www.daivarepeckaite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/centralbank2.jpg\")
