The most valuable Romanian banknote is the 500 RON bill.
It is in circulation since 2005 and it has printed on one side the building of the Central University Library in Iasi, and on the other the portrait of the greatest poet of Romanian literature, Mihai Eminescu, who was the director of this institution between 1874-1875.
"Mihai Eminescu" Central University Library of today has enjoyed continuity starting with 1835.
This building, belonging to the King Ferdinand I Foundation, was built between 1930 and 1934, by the engineer Emil Pragner, on the plans of the architect Constantin Jotzu.
The inside of this edifice is enhanced with Carrara marble and a Venetian mosaic, while the outside is adorned with some impressive Doric style columns, Neo-Doric pillars, little triangular pediments and round insets with great personalities of the national culture.
The manuscripts of a great value, incunabula, old (the oldest, around 1640, dwelled in the Three Hierarchs Monastery) and rare books, some of them bearing some famous signatures (B. P. Hasdeu's, Mihai Eminescu's Ion Creanga's, St. Procopiu's and many others) come mainly from monastery libraries and from private collections, which entered the library heritage as donations or purchased items.
To log this virtual cache as "found it", take a picture of you (or your geocaching name) and the building of "Mihai Eminescu" Central University Library. The picture must contain a Romanian bill and all three colors of the Romanian flag: blue, yellow and red.
