"The misconception that printing money was literally a way to print money."

That line is _amazing._

[Sabrowsky]

I DEMAND THAT THE "NEEDLESS TO SAY HE DIED IN A BRUTAL MANNER" LINE BECOME A RUNNING THEME

[DragoniteSpam]

"Why let a little crusade get in the way of a good story about fiscal instruments."

Forget what I said in my last comment, _that_ line is amazing.

I love how I.O.U. sounds like "I owe you", and means exactly that!

"Needless to say, he was promptly strangled with a bowstring."

What a great sentence.

[DeskofBlogspot]

"Needless to say, he was promptly strangled with a bowstring."

Was that needless to say? Because I wasn't expecting THAT.

[anttibjorklund]

"Needless to say, he was promptly strangled with a bowstring".

Wow this got really dark.

[joelcraig]

"The misconception that printing money was literally a way to printing money" I sure am glad that no one thinks that way today.

[GarthTheMighty]

"Because the Crusades accidentally created modern banking."

...KINDA GLOSSED OVER THAT. Seriously, that sounds incredibly interesting. Wonder if it's a Patreon option...

"Needless to say he was promptly strangled with a bowstring"
yep, that's Dan for you

I am seriously, seriously, seriously loving this set. Learned about the introduction of paper money in school as a kid but it was never quite as clear to me as this series; which should really be played in elementary schools.

"Needless to say his head was promptly separated from his body"

See, if we as a society brought back can-do thinking like this to deal with the people who control all the money, it would be real easy to get corporations to pay their damn taxes.

I love that "Because the Crusades had accidentally created modern banking." thing. <, < For whatever reason it's just making me chuckle way too hard.

[anonimo]

Needless to say... his [insert body's part here] was [insert a bad time situation here]

[andersonandrighi]

Next episode there will be Walpole everywhere :D

[jaykebirdgo]

I can't believe how entertained I am by a series talking about the creation of paper money!

[Gixwing]

Uhm...
My Walpole's senses are tingling...
maybe that figure in the shadows at the ending hás something to do with it

[baalplays]

This was going on in Europe at the same time. People, allowed to store their valuables in the local blacksmith's vault were given receipts for their goods, which became the first "commercial paper."

[Mankorra_Gomorrah]

i'ts actually a really interesting story about how the crusades created modern banking, maybe in the future there could be a mini series about it.

[Daniel.Liddicoat]

Please tell us about counterfeiting. I'm sure counterfeit money was invented 5 minutes after actual money.
