Minted
Minted tells the true stories of money. Each episode, host Nirob takes one coin, one currency, one bubble, or one fraud — the first coins of ancient Lydia, the paper money that travelled from China to the world, the tulip mania that ruined a nation, the scheme that bears Charles Ponzi's name — and rebuilds it: the money, the people, the scheme, the crash, and what it taught the world about value and trust. From the medieval bankers to Isaac Newton at the Royal Mint, from the South Sea Bubble to the Great Crash of 1929, from Weimar's hyperinflation to the invention of Bitcoin, Minted is about the strange, powerful thing we all use and few of us understand — money. Meticulously researched, honest about what is documented and what is legend. Clean and suitable for all ages. A new story every week
