Book excerpt: The present monograph is intended to give only a synoptic view of the complex world of numismatic research. An area of knowledge that spans centuries and contains such varying fields as primitive media of exchange, coins, paper money, money substitutes, tokens, medals, and decorations, can hardly be given a detailed history by a single person in a single work. -- Introduction.

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...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coinage--it is one of the most successful and consistent technologies ever invented. Nothing else we still use in everyday life has a history quite like it. Look around at all the things that would bewilder a Greek, Roman, or Renaissance ancestor; then, dig into your purse or pocket for that one artifact that they would immediately recognize as part of their world. Historian Frank L. Holt takes us on a lively journey through the history of numismatics, the study of coins--one of the oldest and most important contributions to the arts and humanities. For 2600 years, poets, economists, philosophers, historians, and theologians have pondered the mysteries of money. Who invented coins, and why? Does coinage function beyond our control as if it had a mind of its own? How has it changed world history and culture? What does numismatics reveal about our past that could never be discovered from any other source? How has numismatics advanced using modern science? Does it still suffer from racist ideas about physiognomy and phrenology? What does its future hold? The approach taken in this richly illustrated book is as multi-faceted as coined money itself. Coins are integral to our economic, social, political, religious, and cultural history. When Money Talks: A History of Coins and Numismatics explores each aspect of coinage, and takes a special interest in how coins have appeared in literature and pop culture, ranging in its analysis from Greek drama and the New Testament to T.V. sitcoms and meme theory.
