	Currency - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Currencies can be classified as either floating currencies or fixed currencies based on their exchange rate regime.
		Currency evolved from two basic innovations: the use of counters to assure that shipments arrived with the same goods that were shipped, and the use of silver ingots to represent stored value in the form of grain.
		Paper money was, in one sense, a return to the oldest form of currency: it represented a store of value backed by the credibility of the issuing authority.

	Currency - MSN Encarta
		Early efforts to establish a sound metallic and paper currency led to the inception of the First United States Bank (1791); a national currency (1792), including the present decimal system of coinage; and a mint (1794).
		State-chartered banks, however, continued to issue paper money, and a positive solution of the problem of currency management was impossible in the absence of a national banking system and uniform banking practices in the states.
		The National Currency Act of 1863, later amended and renamed the National Banking Act, was enacted by Congress to establish a national banking system and a uniform national currency.

	Paper currency validator (US3870629)
		The two sensors of the paper currency validator are connected in series; and the series connecting of those sensors and the time-spacing of the signals corresponding to the longitudinally spaced and laterally spaced areas on an authentic bill make it possible for one amplifier to receive and amplify the signals from both of those sensors.
		Additionally, the paper currency validator can respond to signals from a dispensing machine with which it is associated to selectively reject such 1 dollar bills, such 5 dollar bills, or all such 1 dollar and 5 dollar bills.
		The paper currency validator requires a number of specifically different events to occur within a corresponding number of specifically different time periods; and it utilizes timing circuits which include gates and a binary counter to determine the lengths of those time periods.

	White, Selgin, Why Private Banks and Not Central Banks Should Issue Currency, Especially in Less Developed Countries: ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Private banks were the main issuers of paper currency in the United States and Canada a century ago, and were the sole issuers in virtually every country two centuries ago.
		Privatizing currency means leaving it to commercial banks to issue media of exchange that are claims to the reserve asset that defines the monetary standard, and makes the enforcement of these claims a matter of commercial law rather than of public policy.
		An importance source of opposition to the idea of having commercial banks supply paper currency is the belief, based on a very partial reading of history, that such currency tends to circulate at less than its face value and thus imposes substantial exchange costs.

	A New System of Paper Currency
		Currency and bank credits would be so abundant, cheap, and generally diffused, as nearly or quite to supersede all other forms of temporary credit between man and man, and introduce a general system of cash payments.
		Or, perhaps, rather, the true question is, whether as large a proportion of the whole stock of paper currency, in the market, would be annually taken out of circulation, and invested in the mortgages, as of the gold and silver coin in plate, jewelry, andc.
		If the proposed paper currency should be introduced throughout the world, (as it sooner or later would be, if found to be essentially better than any other system.) the coins would become superabundant, unless a greater proportion of them should be consumed in the arts, than now.
