The Evolution of Coinage is a historical book written by George Macdonald and published in 1916. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of coinage throughout history. It begins with the earliest forms of currency, such as shells and beads, and progresses through the use of precious metals like gold and silver in ancient civilizations. The book also covers the rise of paper money and the impact of technological advancements on the production and distribution of coins. Macdonald explores the political and economic factors that influenced the design and production of coins throughout history, including the use of propaganda and symbolism.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Barter is, of course, the simplest and the most direct of the ways in which goods can pass from one man to another on the basis of a bargain. But barter is at the best a mere temporary expedient. So soon as the most rudimentary stage in the evolution of a community is past, so soon does the primitive process reveal itse Uas cumbrous and unpractical. However narrow the limits of a district, however small the population of a village, those mutual wants by which the necessity for exchange is conditioned, are bound to make themselves felt at different times and seasons; the odds are all against the tailor being down at heel at the exact moment when the shoemaker is out at elbow. Hence the speedy adoption of some article as a convenient measure of the value of the various commodities.
