The name Sunflower Foundation was not chosen haphazardly. It expresses the philosophy on which the MoneyMuseum is based. The sunflower stands for munificence, balance, harmony and abundance in the positive sense, but also for chance and individuality.
The sunflower is built up on a mathematical algorithm: the sunflower's flower head consists of a large number of seeds arranged in several clockwise and counterclockwise spirals. The number of spirals always corresponds to the Fibonacci series.
