NEW BOOK: THE VALUE OF MONEY

Dr. Ellen Feingold is the Curator of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. I had the pleasure of meeting her this week at the ANA World's Fair of Money in Chicago. Her new book is the catalog accompanying the new numismatic exhibit at the Smithsonian. It will be available for sale September 29, 2015. -Editor

Value of Money The Value of Money celebrates the power of using monetary objects to explore history. This richly illustrated book features over 175 objects from the Smithsonian National Museum of American History’s National Numismatic Collection. With objects from every inhabited continent, spanning more than 2,600 years, this book showcases the National Numismatic Collection’s unique strengths, including the geographic and chronological diversity of the collection and the stunning rarities it contains.

The companion volume to a major exhibition of the same name, this book examines the origins of money, new monetary technologies, the political and cultural messages money conveys, numismatic art and design, and the practice of collecting money. The Value of Money connects American history to global histories of exchange, cultural interaction and expression, political change, and innovation.
