Submit here to contribute articles and information about monetary theory, practice and history. Well suited sites will expect visitors to be essay-writers, historians, economics students etc. Sites with well written documented histories of currency systems are very much favoured as are those with data on historical monetary commodity data (e.g. gold prices and charts).
Currency and Money addresses facts, background and theories about money and prices. Money is taken for granted by most of us. In this directory the objective is to gather resources which help researchers and students understand where money gets its value from, what mechanisms are used to control its value, and what sort of things affect policy and behaviour concerning monetary systems - both past and present. Various currency and money systems are covered, including older commodity based systems - i.e. those strongly related to silver and gold prices - modern central bank managed systems, 'fiat' money systems, reserve banking etc.
