The Greenback
"This text explores the social, cultural and historical contexts of paper money. Predicated on the assumption that paper bills speak to us through the 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"--Provided by publisher.

One Hundred Years of Australian History as Seen Through Banknotes
John Pettit from Sydney is Australia's, and one of the world's leading banknote dealers. The Dauers are wealthy clients of John's from the United States. It was the opportunity to co-author this book with the Dauers that caused John Pettit to embark on what was, by any measure, a most ambitious publishing project. Produced with the co-operation of the Reserve Bank of Australia, the authors were granted access to the Bank's impressive archives, including rarely seen specimen and trial notes, many of which feature here. In his foreword to the book, Ian McFarlane, the recently retired Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, confirms the Bank's support of the project: "I have no hesitation in recommending this book as a fascinating account of the evolution of Australian currency". This book gives everybody the opportunity to bone up on their Australian history, the historic background providing the context for the selection of the notes that are featured, and at the same time marvel at the remarkable and often visually stunning banknotes produced by our early financial institutions.
All Others Pay Cash
The study is an interdisciplinary analysis of American culture through one central case study. It explores the cultural, social, and historic contexts of America's national money icon, covering such topics as origin, design, creative usages, counterfeiting, and its defenses by official America. Applying the theoretical model of a "circuit of culture," the book attempts a comprehensive account of the ways in which dollar bills relate to social and political change, and how such events as the War of Independence, the Civil War, and the continuing War on Terror have shaped the themes of national and other identities. The book should offer graduate students and scholars alike an opportunity to explore the meanings and hidden agendas of the world's most powerful and most widely known as well as most widely used currency. In addition, it should make it possible to look at other currencies and forms of money in a similar way, much as it should help to refine and expand theoretically the analytic approach outlined in it.
