This is a history of the dollar. It's divided into different topics, so it's similar to other "topical" books, like Salt and Cod.

Some of the topics are difficult to understand for history students, such as the history of the Bank of the United States and Hamilton's financial plans. Unfortunately, Goodwin's prose doesn't make it any clearer. Other sections are better, such as Jefferson's attempt to push our nation to adopt a decimal currency and the indifferent reception he (and it) received.
