  • How to Collect Coins a Fun, Useful, and Educational Guide to the Hobby
    $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.

The work has benefited from provided by economists throughout Lima, as well as participants at the conference on Small Open Economies in a Globalized World in Rimini, Italy, August 2006. I am grateful for financial support from the U.S. Department of Education, Title VI Business and International Education Grant, to conduct this research. THE LATIN AMERICAN DOLLAR STANDARD IN THE POST-CRISIS ERA ABSTRACT This paper examines the extent to which there is currently a “dollar standard” in Latin America by empirically looking at the time series relationships between local currencies and the major global currencies using daily data over the period 2003-2006. The results indicate that three countries in the Andes – Ecuador (which is officially dollarized), Bolivia, and Peru – are on practically perfect dollar standards and might find additional financial integration fairly practicable. Four more countries – Guyana, Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay – are nearly on a dollar standard and might easily move closer to dollarization. Guyana, Uruguay, and Paraguay have economies substantially smaller than that of Ecuador, which has already officially dollarized, and might find similar full dollarization relatively easy. Argentina, although having abandoned its currency board mechanism, seems to be engineering (or at least allowing) a persistent, though imperfect, link to the dollar.

  • About the Customer Business Challenge
    ▼ About the Customer Banexcoin is a digital platform for the exchange of cryptocurrencies and fiat money in Latin America. The platform is compliant with PCI DSS, a globally recognized information security standard, and provides traders superior security and reliability. Banexcoin is based in Lima, Peru, and plans to release an e-commerce application so that merchants can accept cryptocurrency, the US Dollar, and even Latin American currencies, such as the Peruvian Sol. ▼ Business Challenge In 2017, CEO Bruno Aller asked Co-founder Sergio Yurman Moldauer to join the executive team, as blockchain had caught both their imaginations, and they believed blockchain would be the path towards a new global economy. Based in Lima, Peru, Banexcoin’s co-founders experienced life first-hand in an underdeveloped region. They recognized that the populous needed education on new technologies, “They are very knowledgeable. They are quick to adopt new technologies, because these are the people who don’t have access to traditional financial systems,” said Moldauer, who has been a member on the Board at the Bank of Venezuela. Blockchain, open finance, and decentralized finance creates opportunity and access for underserved segments. With widespread digitization, people will be able to transact more freely, and the cost of transactions will come down, enabling people and entrepreneurs to develop their own projects and pursue opportunities that may have previously been out of reach. Banexcoin ultimately arose from an unfilled need in Latin America for a cryptocurrency marketplace that met the security and reliability standards necessary to provide peace of mind to new users in all aspects of exchange.

  • V. Exchange Rates and Capital Flows in Industrial Countries
    V. Exchange rates and capital flows in industrial countries Highlights Two themes already evident in 1995 persisted in the foreign exchange market last year. The first was the strengthening of the US dollar, in two phases. In spite of continuing trade deficits, the dollar edged up for much of 1996 as market participants responded to its interest rate advantage, and the prospect of its increasing further. Then, towards the end of the year, the dollar rose sharply against the Deutsche mark and the Japanese yen as the US economic expansion demonstrated its vigour. A firming of European currencies against the mark and the Swiss franc accompanied the rise of the dollar. This helped the Finnish markka to join and the Italian lira to rejoin the ERM in October and November respectively. Stronger European currencies and associated lower bond yields both anticipated and made more likely the introduction of the euro, the second theme of the period under review. Market participants clearly expect the euro to be introduced: forward exchange rates point to exchange rate stability among a number of currencies judged most likely to join monetary union. Foreign exchange markets thereby stand to lose up to 10¤% of global transactions, and have begun to refocus on the rapidly growing business of trading emerging market currencies. Possible shifts in official reserve management with the introduction of the euro have preoccupied market commentators, but changes in private asset management and global liability management could well prove more significant. Even then, it is easy to overstate the effect of any such portfolio shifts on exchange rates.

  • Discounting Gold: Money and Banking in Gold Rush California
    Case Study #22 April 2021 Discounting gold: Money and banking in Gold Rush California Introduction Two momentous events early in 1848 completely and abruptly transformed California. On 24 January, James Marshall found gold in a millrace he was building for John Sutter at Coloma, on the South Fork of the American River. Nine days later, on 2 February, the United States and Mexico concluded the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending nearly two years of hostilities. Under the Treaty, Mexico ceded much of the present south-western United States to the US for monetary consideration. An American occupation government had ruled most of California since mid-1846, but neither the American military governor nor the earlier Mexican governors had held firm political control over the remote, sparsely populated territory.1 Now, the problem was fully in the hands of the Americans. The discovery of gold and the change in sovereignty presented both opportunity and risk. Many in California abandoned other occupations to try their luck in the new ‘diggings’2 in the foothills of Sierra Nevada. The risk was that California might fall prey to the ‘resource curse’ – that the discovery of mineral riches might divert labour and attract outside exploitation and corruption, thus impoverishing the Figure 1.

Much recent scholarship on the resource curse draws on a 1995 paper by Jeffrey Sachs and Andrew Warner.3 Although they did not use the term ‘resource curse’, they described, and they and their successors have sought to explain, an empirical pattern which suggests that countries rich in natural resources seem prone to sub-par economic growth.
