really liked it

I found this book extremely interesting. It covers the origins of money, talks about how the word "dollar" came about. The most interesting things for me were: 1) early opposition to the idea of a bank, and 2) all the different dollars that were printed and in circulation before we finally arrived at the dollar we know today. I guess I always thought that once the Constitution was ratified, only the US Mint was printing and issuing money. Terrific book about a not-often-discussed subject.
