For 2,600 years, poets, economists, philosophers, historians and theologians have pondered the mysteries of money. Who invented money and why? Does money function beyond our control, as if it has a mind of its own? How has it changed world history and culture? What does numismatics reveal about the past that we cannot discover from other sources? How did modern science promote the development of numismatics? What is the future of numismatics? Coins are inseparable from our economic, social, political, religious and cultural history. Talking Money explores various aspects of money.
