elisabeta gjoni : role of money in wartime opening remarks by ms elisabeta gjoni, first deputy governor of the bank of albania, at the second conference of the museum of the bank of albania, tirana, 20 september 2018. * * * dear guests, participants, researchers, academics, numismatists, collectors, students, welcome to the bank of albania! it is a special pleasure for me to open the proceedings of the second conference of the museum of the bank of albania on “ role of money in wartime ”. the rich collection of coins and banknotes and other items exhibited in our museum becomes more meaningful when supported by the historic background of the period of the country of issue. the organisation of this conference, an annual one, contributes to the both the historic and educational role of the museum. this conference is also an excellent opportunity to share experiences with representatives of the main institutions of culture in albania and museums of central banks and other prominent foreign institutions in this field. i am happy to see in this room both old and new collaborators, whom we wish to be “ permanent consultants ” of the bank of albania. we aim to create and cultivate a solid and productive relationship with the best experts in numismatics, museology, cultural heritage and research. dear participants, today ’ s presentations will address the mutual, complicated and multi - dimensional relation between money and war. wars have had an impact on the economy and development of human kind from the birth of civilisations to modern times. meanwhile, in the words of the socrates, the greek philosopher, “ all wars are fought for money ”. we heard some good examples that illustrate this relation in last year ’ s conference. we heard from prof. picard about king monunius, who is known thanks to the respective coin. he had it minted for the sole purpose of raising a strong army, convinced that his might rested with the army. from prof. egro, we learned that mahmut pashe bushatlliu and ali pashe tepelena tried to introduce their coins and banknotes, independently from the ottoman empire, not for financial purposes but as a token of rebellion or an attempt to break away from the empire. later on, in ww1, we see the banknotes of the republic of korca, which are a rare phenomenon not only in terms of numismatics, but also a materialisation of the early issues as a result of the war
