VIDEO: LOCAL CURRENCIES AND COINS
The David Lisot Video Library on the Newman Numismatic Portal can be found at:
We highlight one of his videos each week in The E-Sylum. Here's one from 2009 with Oded Paz speaking about local currencies. -Editor There are many reasons for issuing local currency and coins; most are meant to be alternative currencies to those that are "legal tender." This presentation looks at a few of these "local authorities" that minted this currency. They did this as an instrument of banking and finance, and to increase the usage of local currencies, thus enhancing trade. Some of these issues are serious about their reasons; some do it with a wink and a smile. Oded Paz is the founder and president of the Unrecognized States Numismatic Society and is an ANA District Representative. His is a frequent lecturer at ANA shows and conventions across the country. Speaker(s): Oded Paz.
