<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 939480, member: 19065&quot;]This is fantastic Dave! What a great collection of Assignat you have! I am very excited to see this thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was recently looking for info on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignat" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignat" rel="nofollow">Assignat</a> (English wiki page) <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignat" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignat" rel="nofollow">Assignat </a>(French wiki page) notes and related topics regarding bankruptcy and the history of economics in France after watching a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlOMLG5rI6k" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlOMLG5rI6k" rel="nofollow">video presentation</a>* (at the 3:15 minute mark) by <a href="http://www.robmcewen.com/biography/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.robmcewen.com/biography/" rel="nofollow">Rob McEwan</a> of <a href="http://www.minandes.com/s/home.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.minandes.com/s/home.asp" rel="nofollow">Minera Andes Inc.</a> as he talks about owning gold, hyper-inflation and the history of economics. In his presentation, he mentioned having an Assignat note that he keeps in his office. He gives a brief description of their implementation and the economics of France in that era. He mentions some other interesting titles worth reading too. Cloudsweeper often cites McEwan in the Bullion Investing forums here on CT and I&#039;ve found McEwan&#039;s insights helpful in understanding related topics about bullion investing.</p><p><br /></p><p>*AGM 2009 Presentation video links, Parts: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlOMLG5rI6k" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlOMLG5rI6k" rel="nofollow">1</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy_KwFKrw4E&amp;feature=related" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy_KwFKrw4E&amp;feature=related" rel="nofollow">2</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpqlDPjRwSw&amp;feature=related" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpqlDPjRwSw&amp;feature=related" rel="nofollow">3</a> [YouTube]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the Google Books link / title and for sharing you collection.
