NEW BRITISH TOKEN BOOK IN PROGRESS
George Selgin writes: "I recently came across the very
interesting NBS website. In light of the Society's aims,
I thought it appropriate to bring to its attention a book
I'm in the process of completing on the subject of British
tokens. The (long) working title is: "GOOD MONEY:
How Some British Button Makers Beat Gresham's Law,
Solved the Most Urgent Economic Problem of Their Day,
and Saved the Industrial Revolution." It is intended to be
the first comprehensive history of the last two British token
episodes and their role in the birth of modern coinage.I've placed drafts of several chapters on my website, at Draft
under the heading "Private Coinage"), and would be very
grateful to have your members and e-mail list subscribers
alerted to them, so that they might provided me with
feedback."- 2004-11-07
