Michigan Financiering and the Bank Specie Coin Hoax

A critique of the 1830s Michigan banking boom describes Alpheus Telch, then bank commissioner and future senator, exposing a bank coin hoax. In a farcical investigation, antique gold pieces appeared in many banks, with Telch deducing a broader racket as he probes the institutions and staff, ending with a dramatic pursuit of ghost gold across the region. The piece pivots to a political defense of public works funding in the territory's future.
