The Design of Currency

design­boom has a great arti­cle up about the design and his­tory of money, a sub­ject I’ve always found pretty fas­ci­nat­ing. The arti­cle also brought me to this site which, which while not extremely easy to nav­i­gate, holds a huge col­lec­tion of cur­rency from all over the world.
