History of Money from Ancient Times to the Present Day

Based on the book with the same title written by Glyn Davies (the sponsor's father), this site provides interesting and entertaining information about currency systems around the world. There is historical information, including a comparative chronology of money; and sections on the origins of money and banking, warfare and financial history, the significance of Celtic coinage, the Vikings and money in England, money in North American history, Britain and the European Monetary Union, democracy and government control of the money supply, and Third World money and debt in the twentieth century. After visiting this site, you will never look at money the same way again.
