Paper Money of the United States
19th edition
By Arthur and Ira Friedberg
The Standard Reference Work on Paper Money
This landmark work is the standard reference on American currency. It is internationally acknowledged as the most comprehensive and universally recognized guide on the subject, illustrating and valuating all types of United States paper money.
From the first year of Federal paper money, 1861, to the present, the fronts and backs of all classes and types of currency, from 3 cents to 10,000 dollars are illustrated and are accompanied by text listing, describing and pricing every variety of paper money ever issued. The
result is a complete pictorial, descriptive and numismatic history of the currency of the United States.
Also sections on Colonial and Continental currency (notes issued from 1680 to 1788), and a complete listing by type of the issues of the Confederate States of America (1861-1864). Both are illustrated and have market values in
several states of preservation. Also included are chapters on error notes, encased postage stamps and postage envelopes.
Paper Money of the United States has been an
invaluable asset to currency collectors and numismatists for more than fifty years. It also possesses an appeal and value of its own, not just to lovers of Americana and of the fine art of engraving, but to students of American history, finance and economics. Banks in America and throughout the world will find this book especially useful in that it makes possible the immediate identification of all obsolete but still legal tender paper money, while
simultaneously giving a market valuation. It is a book which belongs in every library, public and private.
