Money Makes The World Go Round

 

 

 

Money is one of the few things common to all modern countries – it forms

a bond which allows modern societies to function. Money is also much

more than this: it reflects the history, aspirations, and culture of the society

that issues it.Modern currency shares two common aspects; its form

and the types of messages and images used on them.

It comes in three tangible forms; as coinage, as

banknotes, or in electronic form accessible

through credit, debit or “smart” cards.

Developed for National CoinWeek 2008, this

exhibit features coins and currency from the

world’s major economies, and includes money

made from new materials, such as polymer plastic

notes as well as bimetallic and aluminum coins,

plus a discussion of the history of credit cards.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WorldWar II was the largest conflict in world

history and its influence is reflected in money. From

the German ghettos to the Hawaiian Islands and at

home in the United States,money was adapted to fit

the needs of wartime economies. As world powers

struggled to conquer and reconquer territory, they put

in place different monetary systems for their soldiers

as well as the civilian populations. Commerce continued

throughout the war whether in concentration

camps, purchasing fuel and other rationed supplies, or

financing the war effort itself.

This exhibit tells the stories ofWorldWar II through the coins, paper

money, war bonds and other means of payment used during the

conflict. It also includes several military decorations awarded

to soldiers and civilians for bravery

and service.
