A fascinating story of the important yet virtually unknown episode in the history of money, this history chronicles the British manufacturers challenge to the Crowns monopoly on coinage. In the 1780s, when the Industrial Revolution was gathering momentum, the Royal Mint failed to produce enough smalldenomination coinage for factory owners to pay their workers. As the currency shortage threatened to derail industrial progress, manufacturers began to mint custommade coins, called tradesmans tokens, which served as the nations most popular currency for wages and retail sales until 1821, when the Crown outlawed all moneys except its own. This book not only examines the crucial role of private coinage in fueling Great Britains Industrial Revolution, but also sheds light on contemporary privatesector alternatives to governmentissued money, such as digital monies, cash cards, electronic funds transfer, andoutside of the United Statesspontaneous dollarization.

I bought this book, 'The Royal Mint and the Beginnings of Modern Coinage,' for my dad, who’s a huge coin collector. He couldn’t put it down! The illustrations are fantastic, and it covers details about the Birmingham minting process that I didn’t know before. A great addition to any history or numismatics library.

Disappointed with the quality
When I received 'The Royal Mint and the Beginnings of Modern Coinage,' the cover was slightly damaged, which was a letdown. The information presented is solid, but the physical quality of the book really matters for collectors like me. I expected better condition.
