Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Currency," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Currency in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Currency when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Currency, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

HISTORY AND PROBLEMS OF INDIAN CURRENCY 38353949 AN INTRODUCTORY STUDY By D. K. MALHOTRA M. A., Ph. D. New . Reiised Edition. 1949 First Edition 1939 Second Edition 2944 Third Edition 1945 Fourth Edition 1947 Fifth Edition 1949 Copyright Reserved Price Rs. 10 8-Ptiftted at Forward Block, Simla attd published Minerva Book Shop, Simla, PREFACE TO THE 1944 EDITION The book was first written during 1938-39 with the limit ed objective of providing a clear and concise account of the main developments in our currency system during the last one hundred years and its first edition came out a few months after the outbreak of the war. The war has given rise to some very knportant developments in the sphere of Indian currency and these have been covered in the present edition. The shape of the material incorporated in the first edition has also been changed a little by addition, modification and am plification. It is very difficult to write about any aspect of Indian war economy without quickly getting out of date. For the scene changes even as one is looking at it and the latest information has to be pursued like will-o-the-wisp. The following words occurring in the last chapter of the previous edition embody the conclusions than reached about the future of Indian currency It may take a long time yet for the international monetary position to become clear and stable, with war in the offing it may get more confused and unstable-An independent mone tary policy alone can safeguard Indian interests in such an emergency. The past record of currency management in this country is not such as to inspire public confidence. The ex cessive dependence of her monetary system on currency and credit changes in England has been serious disadvantage for India. This dependence must be ended and a monetary sys tem suited to Indian needs and managed to promote Indian in terests evolved. The war has brought a wealth of experience and wisdom but has in no way necessitated the retraction or revision of that conclusion. IV HISTORY AND PROBLEMS OB 1 INDIAN OtTEBBHOT This book is modest in its claims and invites no rigorous Judgments. But an attempt has been made to import into its pages something of a method of approach and spirit to which the author attaches great value. If ever there was a time when the Indian economist could live in his ivory tower and put on the trappings of scientific purism that time is now Ipng past. Into the context of every economic problem of this our country, the mighty and yet unsolved political pro blem enters and over the whole of its economy it rolls out in its wide sweep like a sheet of lead. The Indian economist has to show a keener appreciation of this fact. But at the same time, he cannot afford to let it grow into an obsession which would run away with his analysis and judgment. No thing will, of course, absolve him from the duty of being an unbiassed student of events but he will greatly fail if he does not endeavour, within the limits of his capacity and work, to function as the adviser and prompter of a long suppressed na tion, heavy with the burden of many infructuous decades, but now gathering some quite resolve to be on the move, 10th March, 1944. PREFACE TO THE 1945 EDITION The second edition of the book which came out in April 1944 was exhausted within a few months. This unexpectedly generous response from the readers should have been under different conditions a source of the utmost gratification to the author but in the event it proved to be a source of some embarrassment. For apart from his own preoccupations in fields which were not strictly academic, the termination of the hostilities first in Europe and later on in Japan and the vaga ries of the control over paper and printing occasioned several delays and rendered the task of bringing out the present edi tion not only dilatory but also somewhat arduous... ...

Laughable
Don't get me wrong: if you google American currency, you will not find the kind of collection of pictures you find in this book.However:

*There are a lot of repetitious entries, not always in chronological order.

*The "history" as seen through currency includes a two-page spread on Marilyn Monroe, a multi-page entry on the Titanic, entries on Wild Bill and Annie Oakley, etc., all of which do not appear on any currency.

*The book is expensive primarily because it is needlessly bound like a high school annual when the same high-quality pages could be bound at a considerably lower cost.

*You will find the high school annual feeling throughout with the authors' family pictures of their daughter going to college, their vacation to Antarctica and their visit with President Clinton and Sylvester Stallone.No, I'm not kidding.

Beautiful and interesting book
This is a really beautiful book. It is well written, informative, interesting, innovative and certainly beautifully manufactured. A friend found the personal references to the authors egotistical. I understand that view, but I found them interesting too. My one complaint might be a bit small, but it spoils the book for me. The point of the book is to relate United States history and United States paper money. It accomplishes that task reasonably well. The complaint is that they us the word currency in the title (and throughout) to mean paper money. In the context of the title, currency is coins and paper money. This use is common even among collectors, dealers, and auctioneers. Sadly, it is at best a poor choice.

Resourceful , original ,well written.
This is by far one of the best books that I have seen on US Currency and how it relates to US History . Joanne and Ed Dauer have done a remarkable job with this publication . The book has it all from quality paper and photography to well researched historical facts. I have certanly enjoyed reading it and admiring the Dauer's collection of US Currency. P K Doudar ...
