The big problem of large bills : the Bank of Amsterdam and the origins of central banking

Stephen Quinn and William Roberds

"This paper outlines a model of the first true central bank, the Bank of Amsterdam, founded in 1609. Employing a variant of the Freeman (1996) model of money and payments, we first analyze the problematic monetary situation in the Netherlands prior to the founding of the Bank. We then use the model to describe how the Bank could remedy this situation by creating a stable medium for the settlement of commercial obligations."--Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta web site
