Additional notes:
Judith Hoffberg, Umbrella, Vo 7 No 2-5 (1984): "Iconomics: Money' by Miles DeCoster is a product of an artist who has been making offset books experimentally for years, but this time it is book theoretical and at the same time comical, a discussion of money through the ages, and also how it works or who should control it. A discussion of the banking system exhibits various forms of currency, including food stamps, weights and measures, silver, etc. All forms of currency are beautifully printed in oversize at times, with hilarious items such as forms of currency potentially available such as ice cream sandwiches."
