‎Rare first publication of the first regulation of “The Kurantbank”, the first independent Danish bank. It was established on 29 October 1736 as a joint-stock company with royal charter, and its official name was The Copenhagen Transfer, Exchange, and Loans Bank. It opened for business on 11 March 1737 and was established to 1) strengthen Danish commerce and manufacturing 2) contribute to the maintaining of the monetary system and, 3) be completely independent from the state. “Since the beginning of the 17th century a number of banks had been set up in several countries of Northern Europe, partly deposit and transfer banks (Amsterdam 1609, Hamburg 1619), partly note-issuing credit banks (London 1694, Edinburgh 1695, and — to some extent — Stockholm 1656). With the exception of the short-lived bank of John Law all of them were founded in republics or non-absolute kingdoms. For more than a century the idea of setting up a bank had, now and then, occupied the minds of Danish governments, but without results. In the 1730'ties the prices of agricultural products, Denmark's chief exports, were extremely low. About 1735 new advisers, especially J. S. Schulin and count Fr. Danneskiold-Samsoe, persuaded the king, Christian VI, to counteract the threatening lack of foreign exchange by encouraging direct trade and home manufactures.In order to attain this a new department of trade and manufactures was formed, with the said ministers as presidents. A severe obstacle to the plans of the department was the lack of capital in the country. In order to provide the trade and manufactures of Copenhagen with cheap loans the department planned to establish a bank, and the king soon took an ardent interest in the project. First mentioned in February plans were realised in the autumn of 1736.” (Rasmussen, Kurantbankens oprettelse).‎

‎Honest Money Year Book Yearbook and Directory 1940‎

‎Chicago Illinois: Honest Money Founders Inc. Good. 1939. First Edition. Paperback. Please note that the book we are offering a paperback. "We present herewith the Honest Money Year Book and Directory for 1940. The publisher Honest Money Founders Inc. has been actively engaged in the distribution of dependable monetary literature for several years. While tremendous strides have been made much can be done to make the monetary reform movement more effective. This book has been published in an attempt to co-ordinate the various efforts. Those in control of the private money power always seem to agree perfectly among themselves while the myriads of money reformers act like the historical 'Babylonians' each speaking in a different toungue - in utter confusion. The money power has always tried to keep it so because the effectivelness of united groups of money reformers would soon destroy the solidarity of the money monopoly." - Preface. A truly stellar compilation of material aimed at reforming America's monetary system contributed by dozens of prominent Americans. Includes the following sections: The Problem with twenty-four articles; The Opposition with twenty-one articles; Proposed Solutions with twenty-seven articles; The Directory with seven articles. 224 pages. Excellent bibliography. Includes 28-page directory of American monetary reform leaders listing their names and addresses alphabetically by state. Address written on title page otherwise clean and unmarked with moderate wear. Binding tight. A quality copy of this superb reference which remains relevant to this day.; 8vo .
