CoinWorld price guide
This book has a lot of detailed information about every US coin minted and prices on those coins. This book also has detailed information on how coins are made, how to buy and sell coins, Error coins, and how to avoid counterfeit coins. But what sets this book apart from a price guide like The RED BOOK (A Guide Book of United States Coins) is the fact that it has values of coins that are in higher preservation. EXAMPLE: The red book has values for Morgan Silver Dollars only up to MS-65 before going into the prices for the Proofs. This CoinWorld price guide goes even higher and reachesMS-66 before going to the Proofs. For me that is a huge Bonus! I would recommend this book to anyone who collects coins! ... Read more

An Interesting and Enjoyable Read
Vandal's Crown is written with an easy and enjoyable style that makes a potentially difficult subject fascinating. You do not need a lot of prior knowledge about financial instruments to follow it as he clearly explains the basic hows and whys of each of them. Also, he interweaves relevant anecdotal text that has you smiling as you learn. My primary complaint is that the overall structure of the material makes it a bit difficult to see the themes of the book until you are well into the material. Despite this, I highly recommend it and will probably read it a second time.

Well Worth Reading.
Read this well documented book if you are a currency trader and you want to learn a well researched history of currency markets. You'll have a better understanding of "behind closed doors" government intervention and what to watch for on the news. A little difficult to read at times due to its depth, but well worth it for the fundmental knowledge gained.

A book everyone needs to read
Talk about a book that everyone should read, but no one will, this is it.A terrific, plain language explanation of the origins of money and how understanding money leads to political sophistication and concommitant societal benefits.

This book makes many cogent arguments that deal with war and external defense, interior political and civil stabilty, the societal need for a stable currency, the need for a rule of law to protect private property rights, and the implications of the velocity and movements of global currency trading.It does a great job of explaning financial derivitives, options, inflation, debasement of the currency via political corruption, and financial globalization of trade and currencies.

It contains a marvelous retelling of history thru the eyes of a currency sophisticate, one who incorporates a history of revolutions, and the subsequent rebuildings of the societies that gain prominence in their aftermath.

The backdrop for this fascinating tale is the rise of the micro-chip, the story of the digital revolution.This running-wild tale illustrates how technology has outstripped the ability of dictators to throttle it, and how society has commensurately reaped the benefits. It's a paradigm for the future and deserves to be more widely understood.It has shaken up the strangle holdof one political philosophy ruling the media, and in the future it will reform tort law and academia.It's all here for those willing to study it.

Read it!

A review of this Great Book.
This book, although presenting complex concepts, is easy to understand through is storytelling type narrative. It talks very in an engaging and human manner of topics and concepts and written otherwise be considered too esoteric for the layman. This book is good if your interested in finance and trading, as well as the new financial weapons of traders that are (really) more powerful than politicians could ever be. I am probably biased, but the book is so good. It is even relevant today, even years after it was written. The book's analysis of past events, such as the reasons for the rocketing jump in Treasury bond yields in 1994 or the reasons behind the crash of the ERM are excellent.

adventures in currency trading
I found this book difficult to follow at times. However, it wasvery informative about the history of currency and options trading. This is a very interesting history. A greek philosopher, a secret love affair which resulted in a duel to the death and extensive pilitical corruption all took part in this history. This political corruption involved governments inflating the value of their countrys currency. A few people realized what the government was up to. These people are the "Rebel Currency traders." This book is about their cause to take away the power of the government to set the value of their country's currency, and give the power to the international market. The book is worth reading. ...

an important WWII financial history
This is an important World War II economic and numismatic (my interest) reference. It deals primarily with the European Theater of Operations. At the end of the war, because of black market activities the United States would up with a 500,000,000 overdraft. This is almost like overdrawing your checking account. The army went through a variety of attempts to correct the problem. Ultimately, a system of scrip canteen money was introduced for payment of military personnel. The new money was called military payment certificates (MPC). The final experiment before introducing the MPC was using a left over issue from the war known as a trial scrip. The left over was called supplemental yen type A. This history is important to MPC collectors today and is well known. The source of the information is Rundell's book.
It is not exciting reading, but if you are interested in this area, you must read this book. ... Read more
