{"product_id":"george-washington-on-coins-and-heinz-tschachler-9781476681108","title":"George Washington on Coins and Currency","description":"\u003cp\u003e George Washington is the most popular subject on coins, medals, tokens, paper money and postage stamps in America. Attempts to eliminate one-dollar bills from circulation, replacing them with coins, have been unsuccessful. Americans' reluctance to part with their \"Georges\" are beyond rational considerations but tap into deep-felt emotions. To discard one-dollar bills means discarding the metaphorical Father of His Country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first Secretary of the Treasury, said that monetary tokens were \"vehicles of useful impressions.\" This numismatic history of George Washington traces the persistence of his image on American currency. These images are mostly from the late 18th-century. This book also offers a close look at the pictorial tradition in which these images are rooted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinz Tschachler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476681104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476681108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Heinz Tschachler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640672309503,"sku":"9781476681108","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4eb5b1fa-b476-4ab4-a021-64fd6e804aaa.jpg?v=1740670236","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/george-washington-on-coins-and-heinz-tschachler-9781476681108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
