A Landmark Work on the Hidden History of Money
From Barbeque to Cryptocurrency
From the Vatman to Super Simultan
The Untold Stories of the Money
By Dmitriy Litvak
What is money—an invention, an illusion, a tool of trade, or a
ritual of trust?
This extraordinary two-volume publication explores currency not
merely as a medium of exchange, but as a story of invention,
deception, and belief. Written in an immersive, literary style
and grounded in archival precision, Dmitriy Litvak’s The
Untold Stories of the Money guides readers through both the
myth and machinery behind value.
-
Book One: From Barbecue to Crypto Currency
traces the philosophical and cultural evolution of money—from
early barter systems to the psychological architecture of
banknote design.
-
Book Two: From the Vatman to Super Simultan
takes readers behind the scenes into the production
floor—exploring papermaking, printing presses, watermark
artistry, and security innovations with forensic clarity.
Over 50% of the work is devoted to a comprehensive set of
four appendices, offering material seldom addressed in other
numismatic literature:
-
The “Paper Chronicles” – a detailed timeline of paper
technologies and monetary substrates.
-
Unusual Types of Monetary Units – from leather and silk
to salt, beer, and beyond.
-
The Banknote’s Secret Alphabet –definitions embedded in
context, revealing their historical depth and technical
nuance.
-
His Majesty Ink – a chemical and visual exploration of
how pigment protects trust.
This is not a price guide.
This is not a catalogue.
It is a literary and technical exploration into how money is
made, believed, and betrayed.

available in both e-book and Special Illustrated Edition
