Nomisma: Or Legal Tender is a book written by Henri Cernuschi in 1877. The book explores the history and nature of money, particularly legal tender, and its role in society. Cernuschi, a French economist and collector of ancient coins, argues that the use of precious metals as legal tender is essential for economic stability and the preservation of wealth. He also discusses the impact of paper money and the potential dangers of inflation.
