Can anyone help with this subject? I am doing research to determine if anyone has ever written anything dealing with, for instance tokens, chits, notgeld, hardtime tokens, Revolutionary coinage, etc... and how each was able to circumvent the problems of the lack of sources of the currencies that they were used to. For some reason, I find this subject this subject fascinating. Any help would be appreciated. If you know of any books that cover this subject in any way I would love to hear about it. Thanks. -Dan

David Vagi reviewed the book in the most recent issue of The Celator. He notes that
"...the history of money is inextricably linked with war and atrocity, a theme that Bressett consistently investigates to the benefit of the reader."
I think Milestone Coins is precisely the book you're looking for.
