Evolution of Military Currency
Sundman Lecture Series

William Myers
      The military has been an integral part of the world's greatest civilizations, and when it became a full-time occupation, soldiers needed to get paid. Military currency goes back to the ancient Romans, who had traveling mints that produced coins for troops. As society became more complex, so did the system of payments, and eventually led to a broad field of numismatics. William Myers is an Army Reservist and has served two tours in Iraq and was able to collect and study AAFES POGs while deployed. This has led to an interest in other aspects of military numismatics.
In this video you will hear and learn:
  • Evolution of the military and how payment developed
  • How military payment was used in ancient Rome
  • Sutler tokens used during the Civil War
  • How chits developed and were used

Local Currencies and Coins: Instruments of Banking and Finance
Sundman Lecture Series

Oded Paz
      There are many reasons for issuing local currency and coins; most are meant to be alternative currencies to those that are "legal tender." This presentation looks at a few of these "local authorities" that minted this currency. They did this as an instrument of banking and finance, and to increase the usage of local currencies, thus enhancing trade. Some of these issues are serious about their reasons; some do it with a wink and a smile.
Oded Paz is the founder and president of the Unrecognized States Numismatic Society and is an ANA District Representative. His is a frequent lecturer at ANA shows and conventions across the country.

Times and Tokens of Thomas Spence
Jerry Bobbe
      A discussion and display of the alluring copper tokens produced by late eighteenth century British radical socialist, Thomas Spence. Nearly a hundred halfpenny and farthing dies were cut to order by the incomparable Charles James, which were struck into hundreds of politically charged combinations by Spence on his very own screw press. Except for the seven months imprisonment in 1794 for "high treason and seditious libel," Spence held business at his "Hive of Liberty," which was located in London at Number 8 Little Turnstile, High Holborn. There, in addition to his coin business, he issued a penny-weekly entitled "Pig's Meat, or Lessons for the Swinish Multitude." The incredible tokens of Thomas Spence vividly chronicle the challenges of British life under the demented and freedom-destroying Crown of "Mad" King George III and his evil Prime Minister, William Pitt, the Younger.
