Although at first glance difficult to decipher, the inscriptions on late Anglo-Saxon coins follow a standard format: the name of the monarch is placed around the obverse portrait and the moneyer's name and town appears on the reverse. #Coins #Medieval #History

Rather than the centralised production we are used to today, mints in the late Anglo-Saxon period were distributed across the country. By the reign of Æthelred II (978-1016) coins, such as the penny illustrated here, were being made in more than 70 towns. #Coins #Numismatics

#ISO20022: We are concerned about the considerable amount of work that banks still have to do: at the end of April, only 38.5% of SWIFT traffic had been converted to ISO. Now there are only 6 months left for the conversion. Comparison: 6 months ago the figure was 27.6%.

Oh Jesus, they're looking to kill a bunch of census data collection. Talk about penny-wise pound-foolish behavior that's going to make it harder to actually understand America and do basic policymaking/ research work. They're setting the seed corn on fire for fun.

Coinbase was aware that overseas support reps were suspiciously accessing customer data when its CEO tweeted that the CFPB should be "deleted". Among other things, the CFPB has pursued legal action against financial companies that failed to secure sensitive customer data.

James VI’s crowned ‘IR’ cypher, which stands for ‘Jacobus Rex’ (King James), appears on this hardhead that was minted sometime between 1588 & 1590. It was one of the last Scottish coins to be made from billon (an alloy that contains a small amount of silver). From the Hunterian.

This is a big deal. Trump’s most expansive tariffs have been ruled illegal As I explain in Chokepoints, Trump’s first-term USTR Bob Lighthizer built a very careful legal strategy to ensure tariffs wouldn’t be overturned in court. Second-term Trump admin hasn’t been so careful

Aside from the odd dig at SWIFT, the WU CEO is right with the turbo-pigeons analogy — C2C XB players, whether tradfi or fintech, don’t care if it’s fiat rails, stables, or carrier pigeons, as long as it’s faster, cheaper, and reliable. The catch with stables is that in opaque,
