SPMC Journal Now Available for Download

The SPMC Board of Governors is pleased to announce that PDFs of the entire history of its bi-monthly journal, Paper Money, are now available to members to download and use for their own personal reference.

Previously, the journal was posted to the society's website and viewable only through an interface that protects the journal from downloads, printing and copying.  This was set up intentionally due to concerns about unlawful reproduction of the journal.
