On the second floor of the university library, there's a very unusual place: a whole room covered in centas. When Lithuania abandoned its currency, the litas, to switch to the euro, the city's Union of Non-Governmental Associations had the idea of collecting as many centas as possible to pay tribute: 157,100.30 centimes were collected. Enough to completely cover a room with silver coins. Even the curtains are weighted with cents. A map of Lithuania and a throne are also decorated with coins. Truly astonishing.
