The Pedley Ryan Dollars of 1933
These interesting and mostly crude silver rounds were struck in 1933
by the private Denver investment firm of Pedley & Ryan Company
in an attempt to promote the use of silver as a means of exchange.
Silver at that time was being mined heavily in Colorado,
but was only buyable on the commodities exchange in 25,000 ounce units.
A number of different varieties were issued, mostly in January, 1933.
But the effort failed and was suspended in the Summer of 1933.
The varieties range from Common, to Extremely Rare with only
a few known.

Ancient South Indian Lead Coins, and Its Uniqueness in World Numismatics
Lead, a very soft bluish-grey highly malleable metal
was one of the first metals to be known to man.
The earliest lead beads reported from Turkey dated to 6400 BC.
Ancient Indians possessed the knowledge of mining, metals, and alloy;
the literaray evidence of which is written in Kautilya’s Arthasastra,
a treatise on mining and metals in about 400 BC.
Although the ancient Egyptians used lead to darken their eyelids
and the Romans used it for pipes,
lead was used as coins in the south Indian regions for the first time
from the second century before Christ to around the fourth century after Christ.
The central areas of south India had widespread usage,
and some of the dynasties used coins that were only made in lead.
This exhibit hopes to bring out the uniqueness and the beauty of these lead coins
by showcasing a few coins from each of the dynasties that have issued them.

From Croesus to Caesar: Coinage from the First Millenium B.C.
Coins are a comparatively late invention in human history.
The innovation came in what is now western Turkey in the late 7th century B.C.
and was adopted by the Greeks, who spread the concept across the Mediterranean world.
Coins in a wide diversity of types and denominations were produced
during the first six centuries of coinage by city-states, kingdoms, and empires.
This exhibit displays a selection of representative coins to trace the history
of coinage from its birth until the time it was transformed
by the rising Roman Empire.

City of Chattanooga Paper Money
The standard reference for Tennessee obsolete currency, by Paul Garland,
only lists three types of city of Chattanooga notes: two types of 15 cent pieces
that could be fantasy notes, and a unique $2 City of Chattanooga reconstruction warrant.
This exhibit displays 10 types of city of Chattanooga notes:
an 1854 interest bearing note payable when funds are available in the treasury,
seven of the eight known types of reconstruction warrants printed / issued,
and the two types of 15 cent fantasy notes.
The missing type of reconstruction warrant was discovered in a library / museum,
but it is not available for sale.
The exhibit also publishes the exhibitor’s original research
on all the reconstruction denominations, types, and serial numbers by date issued.
The research was uncovered in the 1874 and 1875 Board of Mayor & Alderman
hand written meeting minutes, which is displayed in Table 1,
Records of City of Chattanooga Warrants Issued 1870s.
The exhibit presents and supports his contention that the fantasy notes
were printed and issued by Sam C. Upham of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
or his imitators.

An Unforeseen Problem with the Ethiopian Coins of 1944
During World War II, the United States Mint in Philadelphia
produced coins for Ethiopia dated 1944.
A problem occurred with the bronze 25 cents coins,

A quick solution was to scallop the 25 cents coins,
which created three varieties of this coin for collectors.

Israel & Currency: Her Innovative Approach to the Issue of Idolatrous Money
Since ancient times, Jews have been concerned that
portraits of people and animals on coins could be considered
graven images in violation of the Second Commandment.
After a ruling by Israel’s Chief Rabbi
that some types of portraits were permissible,
the Bank of Israel has designed coins with sunken profile portraits,
photographic-like flat images, line drawings, negative space,
and stylized profiles to avoid creating a graven image
or giving the appearance of supporting idolatry.

Rare Banknotes from a Railroad and River Hub
A challenging series that illustrates the importance of transportation
in the development of Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Chattanooga was settled in 1840 and became an important river port
on the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River system.
With the completion of the Western and Atlantic Railroad
that linked Savannah, Macon, Athens, Augusta, and Atlanta
to Chattanooga in 1851, Chattanooga became a southern transportation hub.
The Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad extended the hub to Nashville in 1854.
The Memphis and Charleston Railroad opened up a direct route west
from Chattanooga to Memphis in 1855.
The Bank of Chattanooga was chartered in 1854 with a capital of $500,000,
reduced to $212,000 in 1856 to serve the city and transportation need.
All of the available pre-Civil War and Civil War issued and proof notes
from the Bank of Chattanooga listed in Paul Garland’s book
