The Money Museum Masterpiece Series: Riksdaler Plates
American Numismatic Association (2021)
Multi-Media Summary
Money comes in all shapes and sizes. Take Swedish plate money, for example (also known as riksdaler plates). These were made by hammering copper and silver into sheets, cut to size with shears and then stamped according to their denominations. While they were cheap to produce, they were difficult to use in everyday commerce.
