QUIZ ANSWER: 'QUOD VERUM EST' QUOTE

Last week I asked, "Which numismatic book opens with the
following quote: 'QUOD VERUM EST, LATEAT QUAMVIS, ALIQUANDO
PATEBIT.  ?"

François Velde of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
was the first to respond, providing this translation:
"What is true, however it be hidden, will at length
become apparent"

No one guessed the book the quote came from: "The Fantastic
1804 Dollar" by Eric P. Newman and Kenneth E. Bressett.
The authors translate the expression slightly differently:
"That which is the Truth. However well it may be concealed,
will at some time come to light."
