<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2057761, member: 19065&quot;]I would recommend <b>Greenback by Jason Goodwin,</b> especially if you generally like US History, Monetary history and are open to some reading about paper currency. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve recently read a few books also on the subject of the history of the Secret Service (mainly in regards to anti-counterfeiting in 19th century America), <b>Illegal Tender</b> and <b>A Nation of Counterfeiters</b> are both very thrilling and historically illustrative of what life was like and how challenging it was to secure currency, how rampant in the US was counterfeiting and how delicately the balance of banks and how they issued notes, how people horded coins and the extent people went to to find ways to transact without a stable money supply that could barely provide enough coins in production to circulate. If you like Colonial subject matter, a classic title <b>Counterfeiting in Colonial America</b> is also interesting, though somewhat dry and repetitive. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are really just interested in coins, then <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0873418735/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0873418735/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1" rel="nofollow">Crime of 1873: The Comstock Connection </a>is an good book and interesting history revolving around silver dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
