{"product_id":"the-invention-of-money-nicholas-brasch-9781477713334","title":"The Invention of Money","description":"People in Asia Minor developed the first coin-based currency, but long before that humans would exchange precious objects for the things necessary for their daily life. Currency is a fact of human life, and this book explores its genesis, beginning with those early coins and precious objects and tracing their legacy to the banknotes and fraud-detecting devices of the twenty-first century. Photographs and illustrations explore the remarkable diversity and detail of contemporary currency, while engaging text explores money's utility and places it within a social context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Brasch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477713336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477713334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PowerKids Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 7.20w x 0.30d","brand":"Nicholas Brasch","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48518590923007,"sku":"9781477713334","price":28.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35ed78d5-9978-4a45-b416-2149ad5a02f0.jpg?v=1778734891","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-invention-of-money-nicholas-brasch-9781477713334","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
