NEW BOOK: NUMISMATICS AND AI

We've had a number of articles about computer vision and other new technologies that are affecting the coin hobby. Technology correspondent Joe Kerr forwarded information on a new book about numismatics and Artificial Intelligence. Thanks! -Editor

A Guide to Numismatics and Artificial Intelligence
by Isimov Asaac

A Guide to Numismtics and Artificial Intelligence Will robots replace coin collectors? This new book focuses on technology and numismatics and how robots can improve coin collecting. It includes chapters on the first robots in ancient times including Caligula, “the little bot" which was used to sort Julius Caesar's coin collection and then the renaissance automata which were powered by clockwork and designed by Leonardo da Vinci for the Medici family who as well as killing people collected a complete year date set of Italian pennies. It also includes a chapter on the Coinzilla series of Oriental robots from the Far East.

A numismatic robot is vital for the modern coin collector. Our tin friends can spend 24/7 on coins and collect work non-stop without the boring needing to rest, eat or breathe. You can programme a robot to search through junk boxes and the robot remembers all the rare dates to look for and most importantly what coins you already have. A special version of the coin robot can clean coin and polish your coins. All of these mechanical coin-collecting friends are magnetic to attract rare coins.
