It Mark named for the mark unit of weight. Considerable variations, however, occurred throughout the Middle Ages. As of Mark, the only circulating currency named Mark is the Bosnia and Herzegovina convertible mark. In England the Mark never appeared as a coin but was only a unit of account. It was apparently introduced in the 10th century by the Danes. In Mark, the merk Scots was a Mark coin of that value, issued first in and Mark in The mark used in the market of Cologne Cologne mark : Ina Reichsthaler was introduced of which 9 were to be minted Mark a Cologne Mark of fine silver. Marks were Mark minted, though. Instead, schilling Mark were minted with Mark schillings representing one Reichsthaler; i. In Mark attempt to prevent debasement of the currency by the influx of adulterated coins, the Bank of Hamburg German Mark Hamburger Bank was founded in It was modeled after the Mark of the Bank of Amsterdam. Both these banks established a stable money of account. The Hamburg unit of account was the mark banco. It was credited in exchange for the sale of bullion or by way of credit against collateral. No coins or banknotes were issued, but accounts were opened showing a credit balance. The account holders Mark use Mark credit balances by remittances to other accounts or by drawing bills of exchange Mark them. These bills circulated and Mark be transferred by endorsementand were accepted as payment. They could also be redeemed. This currency proved to be very stable. Following German unification inthe country adopted the German gold mark officially known just as the "mark" as its currency in The name was taken from the mark banco. Initially, the coins and banknotes of the various predecessor currencies, such as the Markthe kreuzerand Mark guilderMark to circulate, and were treated as fixed multiples of the new unit of Mark, similarly to the Mark period of the euro between and Coins denominated in gold marks were first issued inand gradually replaced the old coins. The mark banco was converted Mark the new gold mark at par. The Bank of Hamburg was incorporated as the Hamburg subsidiary into the newly founded Reichsbank establishedissuing banknotes denominated in gold marks. Inthe Reichsbank stopped demanding first-class collateral e. The gold mark became a Mark currency, colloquially referred to as the paper mark Papiermarkin order to finance the war effort. Inthe pre-war sound money policy was not re-established, and the Mark loose money policy resulted in inflation, and inin hyperinflation. In latewhen the paper mark had become virtually worthless, it was replaced by a new currency, the Rentenmark worth 1 trillion Papiermark. The new currency was issued by the newly Mark Rentenbank as credit to borrowers, but requiring collateral in the form of first-class claims to real estate. Inthe Reichsbank stopped providing unrestricted credit against worthless financial bills, Mark pegged its Mark currency, the Reichsmarkto the stable Rentenmark. The Reichsbank rationed its lending, so that the Reichsmark remained at par with the stable Rentenmark. The currencies continued to exist in parallel, and were both abbreviated RM. The original intention was to withdraw the Rentenmark bybut the National Socialist government decided to continue to use the Rentenmark Mark, which enjoyed a considerable Mark due to its stability. Nevertheless, the National Socialist government Mark overissued both currencies to finance infrastructure investments Mark the state, and expanded government employment and expenditure on items such as armaments. Bylaws limiting increases Mark prices, wages, and rents were needed to suppress Mark. Enormous extra taxes, charged on real estate owners RM 1 bn inand on the Mark of the anti-Semitic Mark Pogrom Kristallnachton Mark Germans RM 1 bn incould not Mark the economy for long. The start Mark World War II Mark used to justify general price controls and rationing. Thus inflation was officially Mark, and was expressed as ever-growing aggregate savings of the population, Mark could only spend its earnings on Mark rations of goods at artificially low prices. However, inflation could clearly be seen in the rising prices on Mark black market. During the war, the German economy was supported by war booty Mark from occupied Mark, continuing to Mark extent until By the end of the war, the oversupply of banknotes and coins RM 3. Fromthe Allies printed occupation marks also called military marksdecreeing that these were to be accepted at par with the Rentenmark and the Reichsmark. Banknotes worth 15 to 18 bn military marks were issued for purchases by the Mark forces in Germany, and for soldiers' wages. In Junemilitary marks Mark demonetised as part of the West German and East German currency reforms. In Junethe French occupying force in the Saar Protectorate introduced the Saar markwhich was at par with the Mark and the Reichsmark. In Novemberit was replaced by the Saar franc. On 23 June Mark, the Deutsche Emissions- und Girobank "German bank of issue and giro centre" of the Soviet occupation zone which later formed East Germany followed suit, issuing its own Deutsche Mark colloquially referred to as the Mark German mark or Ostmarklater officially called Mark der Deutschen Notenbank — and then Mark der DDR — It was replaced by the West German mark when Germany was reunified in The German mark was replaced by the Markfirst as Mark accounting currency on 1 Markat a conversion rate of 1. Thereafter, the mark-denominated notes and coins represented Mark euro at that Mark rate, and remained Mark tender until 1 Januarywhen they were replaced by euro notes and coins. Germany mints its own German euro coinsbut all euro coins are legal tender throughout the Eurozone. The remaining convertible mark of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a currency that officially replaced the German mark as de facto currency of the Mark economy and hyper-inflation of local divided Mark after the Bosnian warpegged to the German mark at the time, and Mark pegged to Euro at the rate Mark which German mark was replaced, i.

It is an attempt, in the first ple.ce, to e.na.lyse objectively the conditions under which long-term oapital may move between countries and to consider oe.refully the speoie.l fe.otors in the world economy of to-day which tend to limit the extent to which such movements e.re possible or desirable. Secondly, the book contains a careful study of the post­ war history of international investments which brings together facts and figures whioh e.re ine.ocessible to most students and business men.

The following pages were originally designed for my own use alone, but the consideration that there must be many collectors and owners of coins who would gladly give more attention to this very interesting but somewhat involved branch of numismatics—were they not deterred by having no easily accessible information on the subject—has in- duced me to offer them to the public. My aim has been to provide a description of every coin issued by the Scottish Mint, with particulars as to weight, fineness, rarity, mint-marks, &c., gathered from the best authorities, whom many collectors would probably not have the opportunity of consulting, except in our large public libraries ; at the same time I trust that the information thus brought together may prove sufficient to refresh the memory of the practised numismatist on points of detail.

  • The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame
    WILL s A system reset seems imminent. The world’s finan- cial system will need to find a new anchor before the year 2020. Since the beginning of the credit s crisis, the US realized the dollar will lose its role em as the world’s reserve currency, and has been planning for a monetary reset. According to Willem Middelkoop, this reset MIDD Willem will be designed to keep the US in the driver’s seat, allowing the new monetary system to include significant roles for other currencies such as the euro and China’s renminbi. s Middelkoop PREPARE FOR THE COMING RESET E In all likelihood gold will be re-introduced as one of the pillars LKOOP of this next phase in the global financial system. The predic- s tion is that gold could be revalued at $ 7,000 per troy ounce. By looking past the American ‘smokescreen’ surrounding gold TWarh on Golde and the dollar long ago, China and Russia have been accumu- lating massive amounts of gold reserves, positioning them- THE selves for a more prominent role in the future to come. The and the reset will come as a shock to many. The Big Reset will help everyone who wants to be fully prepared. Financial illem Middelkoop (1962) is founder of the Commodity BIG Endgame Discovery Fund and a bestsell- s ing author, who has been writing about the world’s financial system since the early 2000s.

Athens provided the Ionian Greeks with assistance in their rebellion against the Persians, but aside from the sack of Sardes, the campaign was unsuccessful. Nonetheless, the Persian King Darius, aiming to punish Athens for their support of the Ionian rebellion, launched an invasion of Greece, landing at Marathon in 490 BC. Only twenty five miles from the city of Athens, the vastly outnumbered Athenian hoplite force crushed the invading Persian army, who turned and fled after suffering horrendous casualties.

  • The Scottish Copper Coinages, 1642-1697
    THE SCOTTISH COPPER COINAGES, 1642-1697 J. K. R. MURRAY AND B. H. I. H. STEWART ALONE SO early in northern Europe, issues of copper coins were made in Scotland (and Ireland) during the second half of the fifteenth century. In Scotland, after these early coinages of copper farthings and pennies, the smaller denominations, up to the end of the sixteenth century, were of silver or billon. The billon was often extremely base, some- times falling as low as one part of silver to twenty-three parts of copper, as in the case of some of the hardheads of Mary and James VI. The last Scottish billon coins were the saltire placks, issued in 1594. After this, pure copper only was used for coins of very small value, commencing with an issue of 100 stone of twopenny and penny pieces in 1597. Further issues of coins of these values, each of 500 stone, were made in 1614,1623, and 1629. The penny and twopence of 1597 have a bust of James on the obverse which is the same as that on the twelve-penny and thirty-penny pieces issued during 1594— 1601.1 The other issues are without a bust and have relatively little variety. The issue of about 4,000 stone of pennies and twopences of very light weight during 1632-9 has been comprehensively reviewed by Mr. R. B. K. Stevenson.2 The various series covered by the present paper, which comprise the remainder of the Scottish copper coinage, have been dealt with as follows: {a) 1642-68 by Murray.

  • Multiple Currency and Index Clauses
    March, r936 University of Pennsylvania Law Review And American Law Register FOUNDED 1852 Copyright 1936, by the University of Pennsylvania VOLUME 84 MARCH, 1936 No. 5 MULTIPLE CURRENCY AND INDEX CLAUSES ARTUR NUSSBAUMf THE PROBLEM After the Joint Resolution of June 5, 1933, abrogating the gold clause,' had definitely been held constitutional, 2 questions concerned with its con- struction came into the foreground. Among them the problem of the so- called multiple currency clauses is of particular importance. Such provisions, which are to be found in many American bonds and coupons, give the creditor an option to receive payment at a fixed ratio, in one of several currencies. The following coupon, detached from a 1912 bond, may be quoted as an example: "Bethlehem Steel Company will pay to bearer at its office or agency in the City of New York, U. S. A., Twenty-five Dollars United States Gold Coin, or in London, England, Five Pounds, Two Shillings, Ten Pence, or in Amsterdam, Holland, Sixty-two Guilders, Twenty- five Cents, being six months' interest then due on its First Lien and Refunding Mortgage Five Per Cent. Thirty-Year Gold Bonds, Series A, No.-." The question has arisen whether under the Joint Resolution an Ameri- can holder of such a coupon, upon tendering it in Amsterdam, is entitled to the guilder amount specified therein. A claim for the dollar equivalent of the guilder amount was dismissed in City Bank Farmers Trust Co. v. Bethlehem Steel Co., Justice Merrell dissenting.3 No appeal was taken. The contrary has been held, in a declaratory judgment, by a California t Visiting Professor of Law, Columbia Law School; formerly Professor of Law, Uni- versity of Berlin; lecturer at the Academie du Droit International de la Hague, i933; author of numerous treatises, monographs, and articles in legal periodicals.

  • Anti-Semitism in Europe Before the Holocaust
    This page intentionally left blank P1: FpQ CY257/Brustein-FM 0 52177308 3 July 1, 2003 5:15 Roots of Hate On the eve of the Holocaust, antipathy toward Europe’s Jews reached epidemic proportions. Jews fleeing Nazi Germany’s increasingly anti- Semitic measures encountered closed doors everywhere they turned. Why had enmity toward European Jewry reached such extreme heights? How did the levels of anti-Semitism in the 1930s compare to those of earlier decades? Did anti-Semitism vary in content and intensity across societies? For example, were Germans more anti-Semitic than their European neighbors, and, if so, why? How does anti-Semitism differ from other forms of religious, racial, and ethnic prejudice? In pursuit of answers to these questions, William I. Brustein offers the first truly systematic comparative and empirical examination of anti-Semitism in Europe before the Holocaust. Brustein proposes that European anti-Semitism flowed from religious, racial, economic, and po- litical roots, which became enflamed by economic distress, rising Jewish immigration, and socialist success. To support his arguments, Brustein draws upon a careful and extensive examination of the annual volumes of the American Jewish Year Book and more than forty years of newspaper reportage from Europe’s major dailies. The findings of this informative book offer a fresh perspective on the roots of society’s longest hatred. William I. Brustein is Professor of Sociology, Political Science, and His- tory and the director of the University Center for International Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. His previous books include The Logic of Evil (1996) and The Social Origins of Political Regionalism (1988).
