How many references can you find to money in this work by Jonathan Swift?

I think I counted twenty-two (that I could notice), but by the end it was getting too punny (and I was stuck for a while figuring out if "Johnson" was a monetary reference).

An article I found claims there are "more than 30 puns pertaining to numismatics."

I counted 35 on my fingers. I could be wrong on a few, but they seemed forced so they had to be puns in my mind. I might give it another go later, maybe circling and counting them, to see if I get the same count.

Johnathan Swift...the man who wrote A Modest Proposal...

Now that I know he wrote about coins, I love him even more!

A Modest Proposal is one of my favourite works

The image above has two typos in it, but I've corrected it and updated it at the original link.
