ANA - This talk is an exploration of the history and origins of money as a form of mass media - a conveyor of meaning - and how it expresses the messages issuing authorities intend and what they tell us about the authorities. To do so, it is necessary to develop an understanding of the symbolism and written shorthand used to convey messages on coinage over time. Case studies will be used based on Roman Republican, English, and early American coinage along with paper money from the 18th century to the present, ending with a short review and speculation about the future of money, including cryptocurrencies. Presenter: Doug Mudd
