In the seventh century BC, someone in Greek Asia Minor invented coinage - much more convenient than sheep or jars of wine.

How the Miners Hit America
Americans didn't turn a hair when miners went on strike there in 1974. Then, Britain's miners were causing industrial chaos and bringing down a government.
This time Britain's miners have settled their pay claim without industrial action, but in America the strike has been long and bitter. In The Money Programme John Roberts reports on America's longest-ever coal strike. Why did the miners turn down what one of their leaders called ' a most generous offer'?

The dazzling world of the laser. Once the science fiction dream of a death-ray, the laser is now popping up in all kinds of unlikely places. In engineering you can measure to within a single wavelength of light, in medicine you can perform microscopic bloodless surgery, in a pop concert you can paint the air with light.
Lasers are already in supermarkets, manufacturing industry and laboratories. Will they bring us 3-D films and television? Will we soon be talking through lasers? Will the military develop the death-ray? Is the ultimate defence weapon already being built? One thing is for sure - an important piece of 21st-century technology is already here.
