I'm actually really interested in learning more about historic transitions between different system of currency. I've found lots of information on Wikipedia about the steady states, but less on the transitions. Any sources you can recommend?

Jack Weatherford's book on the history of money was pretty good. Lots of tracing the transitional periods as valuables give way to abstractions give way to further abstractions on the abstraction-- and documenting where they chafe (reliably, they do).
