Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the proposed Decimal Coinage Commission and the controversy that has surrounded it. The author seeks to unveil the true state of public interest in the decimalization of currency and accountancy, questioning whether there is truly demand for the reform. Drawing on responses from various experts in the banking industry, The author shows that while some support a shift to a decimal system, the majority believe the benefits of the change would be outweighed by the ensuing confusion and potential fraud. The reader is presented with strong arguments from both sides, and the author encourages a thorough understanding of the risks and benefits prior to implementing any reform. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the complexities of currency reform, highlighting the importance of carefully considering the potential consequences before making significant changes to a nation's financial system.

The first edition of a report by the Select Committee on Decimal Coinage, established by Prime Minister Gladstone when he disagreed with an earlier report on the same subject by another committee. He ultimately disagreed with this one as well. It took well over one hundred years more for the British government to begin to convert its mixed-radix money system to decimal coinage. From the recently dispersed library of Erwin Tomash (1921-2012), American engineer recognised for his early pioneering work with computer equipment peripherals. His library consisted of over 3,000 books and manuscripts relevant to the history of computation, from medieval and renaissance works on arithmetic, finger-reckoning and the abacus, to the birth in the twentieth century of theoretical and practical computer science under Alan Turing.
