What exactly can we learn about America by examining its paper
bills? This illuminating text answers that question by exploring
the social, cultural and historical contexts of paper money.
Predicated on the assumption that paper bills speak to us through
the deliberate use of symbols - letters, verbal and visual
elements, as well as symbols of civic values - this book examines
what has been conveyed to Americans via their currency from
Colonial times through the present day. Topics covered include
origin, design, creative and subversive usages, and counterfeiting.
