This collection contains pamphlets concerning bimetallism, defined as the use of gold and silver as the monetary standard of currency and value, and the National Currency System, a system that refers to currency that is a portion of the national money supply consisting of bank notes and government-issued paper money and coins, and is not backed by precious metals any longer. The volume of currency is determined by the actions of the government or central bank and not by the supply of precious metals. Written in the late 1800s and early 1900s, these pamphlets include discussions of monetary and currency questions by Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, William Sherman, and others.
