The publication of Paper Money of the United States introduced innovations never before attempted. Robert Friedberg (1912-1963) was the first to standardize this subject and gave this book a permanent place on reference shelves. It was also the first book to ever show illustrations of U.S. currency. For the past thirty-five years, it has been completely revised and edited by Arthur Friedberg, the Honorary President of the International Association of Professional Numismatists, and the paper money columnist and market analyst for the weekly Coin World magazine, in which he has been named one of the “Most Influential People in Numismatics, 1960-2020”; and Ira Friedberg. New information has been added and valuations have been updated, making it possible to establish the value of any note.
Paper Money of the United States has been an Invaluable asset to currency collectors and numismatists for more than fifty years. It also possesses an appeal and value of its own, not just to lovers of Americana and of the fine art of engraving, but to students of American history, finance, and economics. Banks in America and throughout the world will find this book especially useful in that it makes possible the immediate identification of all obsolete but still legal tender paper money, while simultaneously giving a market valuation. It is a book which belongs in every library, public and private.
