The national Lithuanian currency – litas – has been replaced some time ago, but the monument to it still remains. It was created in 2006 by Dalius Martinaitis, a participant of the stonemason’s symposium. The work made of grey granite depicts a hand holding a 1 litas coin. The sculpture was placed on Birutės Street, next to the building that housed the Kelmė Branch of Swedbank. In Lithuania, we have monuments dedicated to the litas, but the sculpture in Kelmė depicts 1 litas coin quite precisely. It is an original monument to the modern history of Lithuania.
