The opening of the book sets the stage for a rich narrative on the progression of coinage and the evolution of currency in America. It begins by discussing the necessity of a circulating medium throughout history, illustrating how various materials served as money before the advent of coins. This section primarily focuses on the origins and developments leading to the establishment of the Mint in the 18th century, highlighting influential figures like Robert Morris, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton in driving the Mint's creation.
