(Caxton, " Golden Legend," 1483.) No. 22. J ULY, 1947. EDITORIAL After several delays, EBBA's SCRIP again takes the stage, with the record of another year's events : another year of broken records in thf athletic field and broken hearts among the Editorial Staff. We could teach H.M. Revenue Officers several things in the art of extracting blood from stones. The usual order of things has been reversed : the upper school has been, if not eager, at least willing to write articles, while all our efforts have produced from the lower school nothing but promises and veiled threats ! Still, we Jive in hopes .... During the past year exterior events have had considerable effect on the School. We would like now to utter our pity-and our praise-for the few hardy footballers who so nobly faced the world's worst winter. Again, the fuel cuts caused the temporary dislocation of school routine ; not the least startling of its effects was the sudden energy of the School Captain in his courageous grappling with the firebell, which was used in lieu of the usual bell. No doubt his manly efforts were a contributing cause of our survival through that trying time. As to the sudden drop in bun con­ sumption, caused by Mr. Strachey's bombshell, the least said on that painful subject the better. The 1946 School Play, " Badger's Green," was rather quieter --with all due deference to H. R. Watson's " Major Forrester " and all off-stage crowd effects--than the previous year's effort. The acting was, nevertheless, up to the high standard set by previous productions. Congratulations are due also to all those who made Tudor's House Play so worthy of its winning place. The School has not been itself during the past twelve months for Mr. Dawkins has been away from us. However, we receive excellent reports about him and have high hopes that he will be back again during the Autumn Term. Mr. Humphreys, Mr. Hardy, Mr. Cook and Mr. Brown shou ld now be well resettled into the School. Mr. Humphreys was respo:isible for the production of the School Play, Mr. Hardy and Mr. Cook have been instrumental in the establishing of the Cercle In next year's Sixth Form a modern course, together with the Frani;:ais and Life-Saving Clubs respectively, while Mr. Brown additional subjects of art and biology, would be available.

  • Minting America: Coinage and the Contestation of American Identity, 1775-1800
    ABSTRACT MINTING AMERICA: COINAGE AND THE CONTESTATION OF AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1775-1800 by James Patrick Ambuske “Minting America” investigates the ideological and culture links between American identity and national coinage in the wake of the American Revolution. In the Confederation period and in the Early Republic, Americans contested the creation of a national mint to produce coins. The catastrophic failure of the paper money issued by the Continental Congress during the War for Independence inspired an ideological debate in which Americans considered the broader implications of a national coinage. More than a means to conduct commerce, many citizens of the new nation saw coins as tangible representations of sovereignty and as a mechanism to convey the principles of the Revolution to future generations. They contested the physical symbolism as well as the rhetorical iconology of these early national coins. Debating the stories that coinage told helped Americans in this period shape the contours of a national identity.

    $4.95 Valuable Tips & Information! LITTLETON’S HOW TO CCOLLECTOLLECT CCOINSOINS ✓ Find the answers to the top 8 questions about coins! ✓ Are there any U.S. coin types you’ve never heard of? ✓ Learn about grading coins! ✓ Expand your coin collecting knowledge! ✓ Keep your coins in the best condition! ✓ Learn all about the different U.S. Mints and mint marks! WELCOME… Dear Collector, Coins reflect the culture and the times in which they were produced, and U.S. coins tell the story of America in a way that no other artifact can. Why? Because they have been used since the nation’s beginnings. Pathfinders and trendsetters – Benjamin Franklin, Robert E. Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Marilyn Monroe – you, your parents and grandparents have all used coins. When you hold one in your hand, you’re holding a tangible link to the past. David M. Sundman, You can travel back to colonial America LCC President with a large cent, the Civil War with a two-cent piece, or to the beginning of America’s involvement in WWI with a Mercury dime. Every U.S. coin is an enduring legacy from our nation’s past! Have a plan for your collection When many collectors begin, they may want to collect everything, because all different coin types fascinate them. But, after gaining more knowledge and experience, they usually find that it’s good to have a plan and a focus for what they want to collect. Although there are various ways (pages 8 & 9 list a few), building a complete date and mint mark collection (such as Lincoln cents) is considered by many to be the ultimate achievement.

  • Paper Money and the Original Understanding of the Coinage Clause
    PAPER MONEY AND THE ORIGINAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE COINAGE CLAUSE ROBERT G. NATELSON * “The Congress shall have Power . To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin . .” – Constitution of the United States 1 “Poor? Look upon his face. What call you rich? Let them coin his nose, let them coin his cheeks.” – William Shakespeare 2 Over a century ago, the Supreme Court decided the Legal Tender Cases , holding that Congress could authorize legal tender paper money in addition to metallic coin. In recent years, some commentators have argued that this holding was incorrect as a matter of original under- standing or original meaning, but that any other holding would be ab- solutely inconsistent with modern needs. They further argue that the impracticality of functioning without paper money demonstrates that originalism is not a workable method of constitutional interpretation. * Professor of Law, The University of Montana School of Law. Researching this Article required extensive use of Founding-era legal sources not customarily con- sulted by American legal scholars.

  • MEDIEVAL COINS – an Introduction
    MEDIEVAL COINS – An Introduction Richard Kelleher, Fitzwilliam Museum and Barrie Cook, British Museum PART 1. BACKGROUND 1) Early coinage (c.600-860s) This early phase saw the emergence of a gold coinage on a small scale inspired by imported Merovingian coins. Over the 7 th century the gold gave way to a much more extensive silver currency Shilling/Tremissis/‘Thrymsa’ (early 7 th century) The first indigenous English coins imitated Frankish tremisses with occasional Roman or Byzantine influences. They are often referred to as ‘thrymsas’ but there is no evidence for the use of this word in the period. They were struck in Kent and London and (probably) York. Weight: c.1.28g Diameter: 12mm Metal: Gold Design: various but often an obverse bust and some form of reverse cross. A few have inscriptions. As UK finds: Extremely rare. Penny/Sceat/‘Sceatta’ (c.660-mid 8 th century) After a transitional phase comprising base gold coins the silver penny emerged c.660-680. These small, thick coins were of a similar size to the gold shillings. The use of the name ‘sceatta’ which one often sees was not a contemporary term. Weight: c.1.10g Diameter: 12mm Metal: Silver Design: Huge variety in imagery including busts, crosses, plants, birds and animals. As UK finds: Common. Penny/‘Styca’ Coinage in the kingdom of Northumbria developed differently to that elsewhere in the late 8 th and 9 th centuries. The silver pennies became debased until they were essentially copper. They were produced in large quantities. Weight: c.1.2g Diameter: mm Metal: Copper Design: Inscription around a central pellet or cross, naming the ruler and moneyer.

Lumba A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee Vicente L. Rafael, Chair Laurie J. Sears Moon-Ho Jung Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History University of Washington Abstract Monetary Authorities: Market Knowledge and Imperial Government in the Colonial Philippines, 1892 – 1942 By Allan E. Lumba Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Vicente L. Rafael Department of History This dissertation argues that, from the twilight of the Spanish colonial era through the entire official American colonial insular period, the history of authority over money in the colonial Philippines reveals the emerging dominance of an authority based on knowledge of the market rather than an authority grounded strictly in sovereign power. The dominance of knowledge-based authority, especially through the first half of the twentieth century, was brought about by two specific historical changes: the positioning of the modern state as steward of the development of social life through capital and the increased intervention of the economic expert. Through close readings of multilingual archives relating to monetary, banking, and financial policies, my dissertation tracks how the legitimacy of imperial government became heavily dependent upon the colonial state’s capacity to manage and stabilize the monetary and financial system for the economic and social benefit of its subjects. Thus, despite the United States’ growing global economic hegemony, the American colonial state in the Philippines increasingly found itself beholden to the authority of the economic expert, an authority based on ! ""! its access to the seemingly natural laws of the market that both the state and the common public found illegible.

Greek Weights and Values 2. Antecedents in Babylonia 3. The Talent Weight and the Talent Value 4. Attributes of Coinage 5. Literary Evidence 6. Developments in Lydia 7. Characteristics of the Early coins 8. Art Periods 9. Weight and Purity 10..Conclusions Prepared for publication in the Zagreb Journal of Economics, 1999. 1 The introduction of coinage marks an important innovation in the history of money and a transition in the development of civilization itself. Sometime in the first millennium BC, coinage was invented, probably in Asia Minor, and it rapidly spread throughout the Mediterranean area. Tradition attributes the invention to Lydia but it quickly became a Greek affair. Wherever Greeks settled coinage followed. In the span of hardly a century the innovation had become established around the Aegean area, Sicily, southern Italy, southern France, Spain, Libya and the Black Sea. It was also taken up by neighboring peoples, including the Persians, the Etruscans and the Carthaginians. Coinage is a subject of interest for many disciplines: history, archaeology, metrology, numismatics, epigraphy, linguistics, classics, metallurgy, history of art, political science and of course economics. Its literature is enormous. Nevertheless, some of the
