The Algorithmic Presidency

One of the coin collector's most coveted treasures is an Ancient Roman denarius minted around 45 BCE, featuring a laurel-wreathed profile of the statesman Julius Caesar. The four-gram coin contains more than 90% silver, but precious metals aren't what make the denarii valuable.
