	Glossary of Sylver Coinage
		The representation of a Sylver Coinage position as an ascending sequence of numbers, none of which can be expressed as a sum with multiples of previous numbers in the sequence.
		A Sylver Coinage position S with g=2 is probably P if it is short and has no known winning moves, and all moves in S not known to lose produce long positions.
		If S is a Sylver Coinage position, and m and n are coprime, then Sn is a quiet ender if and only if (S*m)n is. Here n need not be legal in S.

	Spanish Silver: General Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		For centuries Spanish silver coinage was famous throughout the world as the standard by which other coinages were measured, due to its consistent weight and purity.
		In fact, the first coinage authorized by an English Royal patent for the colonies, the American Plantations token, minted at the Tower of London, stated its value on the obverse of the coin not in English currency but as 1/24th of a Spanish real.
		Unlike milled coinage they were not hoarded by bullion speculators nor was it profitable to use them for export, hence they remained in circulation.

		The body of knowledge about Sylver Coinage consists of a few remarkable general theorems, some empirical results for certain game positions, a lot of plausible conjectures (most of them disproven), and some simple positions that have not been solved but would very much like to be!
		I have a new result in Sylver Coinage: {10,26,44} [2383] So far as I know, this is the highest known winning move in a small position.
		I've bagged another one: In Sylver Coinage, {14,26} is P. Details are at my Sylver Coinage page: This forms a triad of mutually responsive moves in {}: {10, 14, 26} Against any opening move from this set, any other move from this set will win.

	Sylver coinage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sylver Coinage is a mathematical game for two players, invented by John H. Conway.
		This makes Sylver Coinage a misère game, since by the usual convention in combinatorial game theory the last player able to move is the winner.
		Unlike many mathematical games of its ilk, Sylver Coinage has not been completely solved.

	British Silver Coinage: Introduction
		Although England restricted the export of its silver coinage, it is clear some British silver, as well as some British gold coins, found their way to the American colonies.
		These smaller denominations have been included as examples of contemporary English coinage that would be familiar to most colonists as well as to British troops stationed in the colonies.
		General references to British coinage are from: Richard Lobel et al., Coincraft's Standard Catalogue of English & UK Coins 1066 to Date London: Coincraft, 1995 and Brian Reeds, Standard Catalogue of British Coins: Coins of England and the United Kingdom31st ed.

		As we have previously seen, this is one of the inherent complications or problems with a bimetallic system of coinage that “fixes” a statutory exchange ratio between silver and gold, as opposed to letting the free market forces of supply and demand determine the correct ratio.
		The given reason for minting these new half dollars was that since the coinage act of 1834 had changed the legal exchange ratio between silver and gold to 16 to 1 (from 15 to 1), gold coin had re-entered into circulation as planned.
		The Coinage Act of 1878 authorized Congress to restore the coinage of the standard silver dollar of the weight of 371.25 grains of silver, and to make it legal tender, as stated in the Act of 1837.

		" [1] "It being obvious that the coinage, in the very nature of things, must be for ever, unit by unit, falling under depreciation by the mere action of ordinary and unavoidable abrasion...
		Although friction with the external world causes other entities to lose their idealism, the coin becomes increasingly ideal as a result of practice, its golden or silver substance being reduced to a mere pseudo-existence.
		This second idealisation of metal currency, that is, the disparity between its nominal content and its real content, brought about by the process of circulation itself, has been taken advantage of both by governments and individual adventurers who debased the coinage in a variety of ways.

		Silver coinage, under the Act of February 28, 1878, provides for the purchase and coinage, monthly, of not less than $2,000,000 nor more than $4,000,000 worth of silver bullion.
		Nor can it be validly objected that by this coinage system we should gain more of the two metals than is necessary so to maintain prices as to promote a general revival of business.
		The history of all ages shows that from the beginning of civilization the precious metals have been held in such high esteem and so largely sought for that nothing---not excepting wars, pestilence, and famine---will not be endured before a people will consent to part with their stock of these metals.

		It is possible that implementation of the new coinage legislation that I am proposing, greatly reducing the requirement for silver in our subsidiary coinage, will actually make feasible the minting of additional silver dollars in the future.
		But if our coinage were suddenly to be such that it would not work in coin-operated devices, the public would be subjected to very great inconvenience and serious losses would occur to business with harmful effects on employment.
		In the second year after authorization of the new coinage, we expect to be able to double the first year’s output of the new coins, reaching a production total of 7 billion pieces.

		Why the silver content of the coinage must be reduced at this session---these recommendations for revision of our silver coinage rest upon extensive study of the silver situation, and of alternatives to our present coinage, by both government and private specialists.
		We believe our present stocks of silver to be adequate, once the large present drains from coinage are greatly reduced, to meet any foreseeable requirements for an indefinite period.
		The words uttered in 1834 by Daniel Webster in the Senate of the United States are true today: The very man of all others who has the deepest interest in a sound currency, and who suffers most by mischievous legislation in money matters, is the man who earns his daily bread by his daily toil.
