Paper Money of the United States introduced innovations never before attempted. Robert Friedberg was the first to standardize this subject and gave this book a permanent place on reference shelves. For the past forty years, it has been completely revised and edited by Arthur Friedberg, the Honorary President of the International Association of Professional Numismatists and one of Coin World magazine's "Most Influential People in Numismatics, 1960-2020"; and Ira Friedberg.
