100 Article on Seigniorage & Economics Curated Publications List

Seignorage is a concept important for economics, politics, and monetary policy. It is essentially the profit of a government for printing money. In the cryptocurrency world there is often little cost to produce cyrptocurrency and often no central authority, so this concept becomes interesting for comparison. Below are the top 100 most cited articles mentioning this term... and please note that you may also find this spelled seignorage or seigneurage.

Will this concept fade away as cryptocurrencies replace fiat currency over time? Is there always some value of money that will be attributable to production of it?

There are some interesting analyses produced which look at debt, sustainability, taxation and capital controls as well.
