FEATURED WEB SITE
This week's featured web page is from the library of
the American Numismatic Association. The first in a
planned series of web pages featuring high-resolution
images of rare books, it shows digital images of one of
the rarest works in American numismatic literature,
Perkins' Bank Bill Test.
Printed in 1809, the book "offered the public original
impressions of Massachusetts paper currency whereby
they might determine a note's authenticity."
Wayne Homren, Editor
