resource for continental currency?

What is a good book or other resource for continental paper money? I'm half interested in current values, but more interested in learning about the bills themselves from a collector's standpoint.

Early American Paper Money by Eric Newman.

 

I second Lettow's recommendation. It is the best reference out there.

 

I still am tattering through my really old copy of Newman's book - which attests to the continued usefulness of it. Maybe he(at 104 years young) will come out with a new edition.

 

I couldn't find it on Amazon. They do sell out of print books, so I'm guessing this one is going to be hard to find!

 

Try Bookfinder.com. You can find a used copy fairly inexpensively.

 

You can find it on AbeBooks, here's a link for you

Hey guys, thank you all. I did eventually find it on Amazon under a slightly different title. It's called, "Early Paper Money of America" by Eric P. Newman.

 

I found a great online reference for colonial coins and currency and Washington Tokens.

Wow, this is a cool site, especially since I'm a Rev. War and Civil War buff. Thank you.

 

Hi all, thank you once again. I ordered this book today!
