Download or read book George Washington on Coins and Currency written by Heinz Tschachler and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Washington is the most popular subject on coins, medals, tokens, paper money and postage stamps in America. Attempts to eliminate one-dollar bills from circulation, replacing them with coins, have been unsuccessful. Americans' reluctance to part with their "Georges" are beyond rational considerations but tap into deep-felt emotions. To discard one-dollar bills means discarding the metaphorical Father of His Country. Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first Secretary of the Treasury, said that monetary tokens were "vehicles of useful impressions." This numismatic history of George Washington traces the persistence of his image on American currency. These images are mostly from the late 18th-century. This book also offers a close look at the pictorial tradition in which these images are rooted.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Mint has started issuing handsome new silver dollars featuring images of the presidents in the order that they served--and this time they’re taking a fresh, contemporary approach!

Download or read book African Americans on U S Currency and Numismatic Materials Coins and Medals written by Sherrod Gresham and published by . This book was released on 2012-03-20 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written for the purpose of informing the reader about African Ameri¬cans on U.S. Currency and Numismatic Materials: Coins and Medals.The definition of Numismatics is the scientific analysis and study of money and the uses to which people have put money throughout history. When coin collectors use the word numismatics, though, they generally mean the study of coins in particular. A wider and more correct definition includes the study and collecting of all money-related items such as banknotes, tokens, medals, bullion rounds, etc.As any devoted numismatist will attest, our coins, medals and U.S. paper money are tied to the American story, from the earliest colonial times to the birth of the United States, through the great gold and silver debates dominating American politics for much of the 19th century, and during generations of war and peace, prosperity and depression.This book looks at African Americans' contribution to American history on U.S. cur-rency, coins and medals. The depiction of slaves on confederate currency, and Southern States currency is a message of how the labor of enslaved Africans helped build the foundation of the United States' economy. Blanche K. Bruce and Judson W .Lyons signed U.S. currency during reconstruction.Bishop William T. Vernon and James C. Napier signed U.S. currency during the Jim Crow era. Isaac Hathaway was chosen as the designer of the Booker T. Washington silver half dollar coin and the George Washington Carver silver half dollar coin thus becoming the first African-American to design a U.S. coin. The Honorable Azie Taylor Morton was the first African American U.S. Treasurer. She was appointed by President Jimmy Carter and signed U.S. currency from 1977-1981. This book fo¬cuses on stories of these people of color whom we are not aware of in American his¬tory. Their stories are told and shown here so we never forget the importance of their lives and their contribution to history.I hope this book will encourage and inspire the reader to collect the rich African American heritage available through U.S. currency, coins and medals.WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR HERITAGE... YOU KNOW HOW GREAT YOU ARE...
