Nomisma: Or Legal Tender is a book written by Henri Cernuschi in 1877. The book explores the history and nature of money, particularly legal tender, and its role in society. Cernuschi, a French economist and collector of ancient coins, argues that the use of precious metals as legal tender is essential for economic stability and the preservation of wealth. He also discusses the impact of paper money and the potential dangers of inflation. The book provides a detailed analysis of the monetary systems of various countries, including ancient Greece and Rome, China, and the United States. Cernuschi�������s insights into the nature of money and its role in society are still relevant today, making Nomisma: Or Legal Tender a valuable resource for anyone interested in economics, finance, or history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
