engaging narrative that spans thousands of years and introduces readers to
important people who have impacted the chronicle of currency."
*Jimmy Carter, Former US President*

*New from Grand Central Publishing*

"*Coined* doesn't resemble any of the usual text books on money. For one
thing, it's actually fun to read--and Sehgal will stimulate your thinking
about our financial crisis and banking."*--Paul Volcker, Former Chair of
the Federal Reserve*

"Kabir's book brings the story of currency to life and is worth spending a
few of your hard-earned coins on."*--Sir Richard Branson, Founder, Virgin
Group*

"Well-written. Clever. Innovative. This amazing book will get you thinking
about money in completely new ways."*--Sheila Bair, Former Chair of the

"Sehgal has tackled the topic of money and written a fascinating account
that weaves together history, philosophy, and personal anecdotes. He
provides insights that are both riveting and thought-provoking."*--Walter
Isaacson, bestselling author of Steve Jobs*

     "Sehgal has done us a great service in writing this book. He has
presented in this book everything that money has meant to people over the
centuries and with a multidimensional perspective. He has prepared the
ground for us to take it forward, to give new meaning to money, to assign
it new roles in our lives, and imagine the future of money as a foundation
upon which we can build the future of the world we all cherish. Thank you,
Kabir."*--Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Founder of Grameen
Bank (from foreword)*

"*Coined* is a world history of currency that looks at the different forms
money takes across time and across cultures. Mr. Sehgal's anecdotes are
wide-ranging and include the birth of exchange in the Galapagos Islands;
the art sought after by coin collectors in Vietnam; a tour of the Federal

hive."*--Bill

exchange. After reading *Coined*, you'll never think of those pieces of
metal jangling around in your pocket in quite the same way."*--Neil
Barofsky, author of Bailout*

"Sehgal is the Stephen Hawking of money: he has taken a hugely complex
subject, and explained it in a way that is at once simple, elegant and
comprehensive ... This is a masterful book, as enjoyable as it is

money and meaning in our lives. This is a necessary and transformative read
that you won't want to put down."*--Adam Braun, New York Times bestselling
author and Founder of Pencils of Promise*

"*Coined* is an enthralling, illuminating, page-turner of a character study
about money and the way it has impacted humanity. Through his kaleidoscopic
analysis of money through the ages and across the globe, Sehgal provides a
highly original vision of money that transcends its value as a means of
exchange and redefines it as a reflection of our minds, bodies and
spirits."*--Nomi
Prins, author of All the Presidents' Bankers*

"Sehgal offers a lively pastiche evoking money's many roles in our world.
Instead of asking only how about each one, he refreshingly asks why."*--Daniel
Altman, author of the international bestseller Outrageous Fortunes: The
Twelve Surprising Trends That Will Reshape the Global Economy*

money, it is a richly rewarding excursion into the meaning of money."*--David
Tripp, award winning author of Illegal Tender*

"This is a must read for anybody with a savings account or a credit
card."*--Jesper
Koll, Managing Director, Head of Japan Research, J.P. Morgan*

"Money jingles, jangles, confuses and betrays us. Readers will be surprised
and charmed by  Sehgal's far-flung and fascinating search for the root of
money and the spell it weaves around us."*--Todd G. Buchholz, former White
House economic adviser and author of New Ideas from Dead Economists*

The Rich Life of Money and How Its History Has Shaped Us* by Kabir Sehgal |
Book Trailer

The importance of money in our lives is readily apparent to everyone--rich,
poor, and in between. However grudgingly, most of us accept the expression
"Money makes the world go round" as a universal truth. We are all aware of
the power of money--how it influences our moods, compels us to take risks,
and serves as the yardstick of success in societies around the world. Yet
because we take the daily reality of money so completely for granted, we
seldom question how and why it has come to play such a central role in our
lives.

In *Coined: The Rich Life of Money And How Its History Has Shaped Us,*
author Kabir Sehgal casts aside our workaday assumptions about money and
takes the reader on a global quest to uncover a deeper understanding of the
relationship between money and humankind. More than a mere history of its
subject, *Coined* probes the conceptual origins and evolution of money by
examining it through the multiple lenses of disciplines as varied as
biology, psychology, anthropology, and theology. Coined is not only a
profoundly informative discussion of the concept of money, but it is also
an endlessly fascinating and entertaining take on the nature of humanity
and the inner workings of the mind.
