JacobsIrsquo;d like to thank the authors of this book for reigniting my love of coin collecting. I collected coins as a kid (back in the good old days when my eyesight was good enough I could read the dates without a magnifying glass). But over the decades; Irsquo;ve let my interest lapse. Marjoie Akin; James Bard and Kevin Akinrsquo;s book has reminded me why shiny coins are so alluring. And non-shiny coins for that matter. All kinds of coins. They are little pieces of history. And if you read this wonderful and comprehensive book; you wonrsquo;t just learn about the history of money; yoursquo;ll learn about the history of the world.(Full disclosure: Marjorie is in my extended family. But I would have loved this book even if we were from different hominid groups).
