"Forever Connecting All Nations: Currency and the Rise and Fall of Ancient Dynasties" is a new and updated version of the 2018 Chinese book "The History of China in Currency". The book is divided into three parts. The first is monetary history (money history). Based on the original book, the monetary history content is doubled (100,000 words) to systematically and completely discuss the historical evolution of currency development. It presents another aspect of history from the side and reveals the secrets of the rise and fall of past dynasties. The second is money genealogy, which is compiled by the author inviting several coin experts, scholars, collectors, and appraisers, and covers the outline of past dynasties. It contains clear color pictures of current currencies and rare currencies, accompanied by detailed tables and explanations, including many first-time public archaeological discoveries and academic opinions, which can be used as a collection genealogy (money genealogy); the third is money knowledge, which directly addresses many difficulties and pain points in numismatics and monetary history research, and systematically presents the author and other numismatic experts' years of coin research and collection experience, allowing readers to climb up the stairs and gradually enter the wonderful world of collecting.
Reader comments
Just like "Money, Power and People" I have read before, they all look at history from a unique perspective. Moreover, this book also has money charts and money knowledge. For those who like to collect coins, it is simply a treasure book! I think it is very suitable for people who are interested in history and currency. Reading can not only increase knowledge, but also be interesting.
