The Crime of Diogenes, mmarotta, coinpeople.com

Diogenes "the son of a disreputable money-changer who had been sent to prison for defacing the coinage...is said to have gone to Athens as an exile with his father, when either his father or he himself was accused of counterfeiting or tampering in some other way with the currency of Sinope."

A new token

Symbols of Behaviour in mid-17th Century English Coffee Houses, Scott Shriner, 7.11.2016

“Even though government largely ignored the issuing and usage of tokens, it was still an unlawful act. These tokens undermined the legal and legitimate tender of the realm."

Crypto Won’t Solve Our Problems — We Need to Democratize Money, Interview with Stefan Eich

Are you counting pennies or benjamins?, PILLAR: An Asset Management firm for transportation infrastructure

“As an engineer, I am very analytical and linear in my thought process. This is natural and almost expected as I deal with equations following specific procedures to arrive at design solutions. After all, there is no gray in engineering – it is either black or white. I refer to this thought process as counting pennies – that is examining every detail down to the smallest one to make sure everything is accounted. Because of my ethical obligations to protect the public with my designs, I, as an engineer, have to count and take into account these pennies to avoid potentially disastrous situations."
