Coin Of The Realm What It Is PDF Download

Excerpt from Coin of the Realm: What Is Is? Or Talks About Gold and Silver Coins, With a Few Practical Lessons I hepe to induce my young readers to confess, after reading the following pages, that Money is not so dry a subject as they have hitherto believed it to be; and I feel sure that among the great number of boys and girls who nowadays delight in mastering difficult arithmetical problems, some will be found who will enjoy the practical application of Mr. J. H. Norman's Single Grain System, fully explained in the second series of this work. It is strange that almost all authors of geographies describe the religion, language, physical conditions, products, and manufactures of the countries about which they write; whilst the history of the standard and token coins circulated in those countries has hitherto been omitted. The addition of this latter subject would prove of great value to all students in tending to follow a commercial career, or to travel in foreign lands; and I trust that some day the monetary systems of the countries that possess a standard currency will be taught in schools with geography.
