NOT VERY INFORMATIVE-
This book was not very informative at all. Also, there weren't very many good pictures, like you would & should expect from a book about that purports to be about 'ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD'. With the exception of a handful of rare coins, the pictures of paper currency were limited to a few modern-day, run of the mill notes. This is quite a shame, because there is so much more beautiful money, both past & present, to see. I got the sense that this book was hurriedly written, without much thought at all. I could have done better writing about the 1400 or so coins & notes in my own collection, (some much rarer than shown in this book.) To expect better out of this book, given its title, and the author's access to a museum & its contents, would not have been unreasonable. Much more rare currency should have been pictured & discussed. After all, the only reason a collector buys any of these books are for reference material, and for the opportunity to view currency that they hadn't seen before. To sum it all up, ' ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD' is a bigger waste of money. I was very disappointed, as you will be too.
