This is a special issue of the American Journal of Numismatics, published in recognition of the 150th anniversary of the American Numismatic Society, devoted to the study of currency objects for resolving debts and facilitating the exchange of goods. It contains 28 peer-reviewed articles, discussing such topics as the coinage of Larissa, the later fourth century BCE coinage of Issos, the silver mint of Damascus under Demetrius III and Antiochus XII, "pseudo-mints" and small change in Italy and Sicily in the Late Republic, the early coinage of Hadrian and the deified Trajan at Rome and Alexandra, and a Roman Republican silver coin hoard from Campana.
