This book is the first compilation of African Americans on U.S. currency, coins and medals. It displays varying views of slaves on currency in confederate and southern states . The signatures of four African Americans who were appointed by U.S. Presidents as register treasurers appear on national bank notes between 1875 and 1907. The fifth African American U.S. Treasurer was Azie Tayor Morton, an African American woman, appointed by President Jimmy Carter in 1977. Her signatures appear on 1977 Federal Reserve Notes. Commemorative coins that celebrate and honor African American people, places, events, and institutions are all displayed in colorful photos. In addition, Congressional Medals honoring African Americans who have performed achievements that impacted American history and culture are also colorfully displayed. Included in this 2nd edition are the Official Inauguration Medals and U.S. Mint Presidential Series Medals of the first African American President. This historical work concludes by exhibiting future U.S. currency, coins and medals that will be embossed by African Americans. I hope this book will encourage and inspire the readers to collect and/or invest in the rich African American heritage available through U.S. currency, coins, and medals along with other U.S. types of collections.
