Book excerpt: Harley J. Spiller began collecting money at the age of five when, home sick from school, his father tossed him a sack of pennies and a Whitman coin folder. In the five decades since, author Spiller has amassed one of America's most extensive collections of unusual financial artifacts as well as a wealth of anecdotes and quirky historical details about U.S. currency. In Keep the Change, Spiller takes an irreverent look at our most uncommon coins and bills. Readers learn why greenbacks are green; what happens to worn-out bills (compost is involved); how artists navigate the fine line between art and mutilation; whether it's ever acceptable to burn money (short answer: maybe); and how coin clippers and counterfeiters through the ages have profited by manipulating money. This highly selective tour through currency legends and lore will inspire readers to look with a new sense of wonder at the bills that pass through our hands every day.

Book excerpt: The last few years has, within museums, witnessed nothing short of a revolution. Worried that the very institution was itself in danger of becoming a dusty, forgotten, culturally irrelevant exhibit, vigorous efforts have been made to reshape the museum mission. Fearing that history was coming to be ignored by modern society, many institutions have instead marketed a de-intellectualised heritage, overly relying on computer technology to captivate a contemporary audience. The theme of this work is that we can do much to reassess the rationale that inspires contemporary collections through a study of seventeenth century museums. England's first museums were quite literally wonderful; founded that is on the disciplined application of the faculty of wonder. The type of wonder employed was not that post-Romantic idea of disbelief, but rather an active form of curiosity developed during the Renaissance, particularly by the individuals who set about gathering objects and founding museums to further their enquiries. The argument put forward in this book is that this museological practice of using objects actually to create, as well as disseminate knowledge makes just as much sense today as it did in the seventeenth century and, further, that the best way of reinvigorating contemporary museums, is to return to that form of wonder. By taking such a comparative approach, this book works both as a scholarly historical text, and as an historically informed analysis of the key issues facing today's museums. As such, it will prove essential reading both for historians of collecting and museums, and for anyone interested in the philosophies of modern museum management.

Download or read book The Old Coin Book written by Jorge Lucendo and published by Jorge Lucendo. This book was released on 2020-04-08 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term numismatic derives from the Latin numismatis, genitive of numisma, variant of non-same («currency»). Numismatics is the science that studies currencies and elements formally or functionally related to them; that is to say, all the objects that by their external appearance resemble them, such as medals or tokens, as well as all those that perform a monetary function in ancient and modern societies (paper money, traditional money, etc.), and those related to its manufacture, official control and use (scales, dumbbells and weights). Numismatics played an important role in the development of historical studies, especially in the birth of Archeology. When dealing only with paper money, the term exclusive notafilia is usually preferred. The numismatics is known since the times of the Roman Empire, although it can not be known with certainty at what moment it began as a social phenomenon (collectors). Numismatics as a science begins timidly in the nineteenth century, a time of modernization and appreciation as such of all sciences, as we understand them today. This science can give invaluable testimony of the exchanges and economy of the peoples, as well as their political, geographical, religious history...
