Abstract: Abstract Although there are many matters relating to the origins and evolution of monetary systems that are of considerable interest, the following is not intended as a detailed account either of the history of monetary systems, or of their workings. Its purpose is to describe briefly the principles according to which the value of money has been controlled in the past. The treatment of other aspects is consequently limited to passing comments.
