The September 2012 issue of moneta (the journal of the Ottawa Numismatic Society) includes a lengthy article on Funding the War of 1812 by David Bergeron, curator of Canada's National Currency Collection. Published in both French and English, the article discusses the full gamut of coins, tokens and banknotes of the era, including U.S. issues. Here are a couple of the images that caught my eye. The complete issue is available online - check it out!
