| Joseph Smith began and Brigham
Young organized one of the largest private monetary systems in the world. It began just 50 years after the U.S. Federal Government began coining money. That's when the early Mormon pioneers began issuing private coinage to stimulate the local economies of their settlements. That's when the story of Mormon and Utah Coin and Currency begins. Turn the pages of the book and see:
CLICK on an item below and a window will appear to tell you the history and significance of the piece.
From Kirtland, Ohio to Nauvoo, Illinois,
and finally onto Salt Lake City, Utah, Mormon monetary history was researched
and is brought to life on the pages of Mormon and Utah Coin and Currency.
You will view pieces of history in the 300+ halftone photographs of coins,
currency, stock certificates, and tokens, many of which are signed by early
members and leaders of the church. These items, now mainly in private collections
throughout the country, are used to illustrate and document the economic
and historic progression of the LDS Church and early Utah settlers. |
