While working on coin operated machines, Merrill Jenkins was asked to figure out what kind of metal would defeat the design that intrinsic to keep fake slugs from compromising the machines. The sandwich coins that came into existence in 1965 where specifically produced to do just that, and did. While watching the fake sandwich coins chase the good silver coins out of circulation it dawned on Merrill what was going on behind the scenes and after doing some deep research he came up with this book which is the best book on the subject of Money you will ever read. - This should be a must hear for all who thing they know what economics is all about.
