Just found it again after moving house and thought I'd read it. I used to love all the Hardy Boys books. This might have been exciting when I was younger but it is really a bit far fetched and unbelievable. A quick easy read though. I feel like I should re-read books from my childhood more often. Hopefully I'll like some of the others a bit more. ( ) I first read this book 25-30 years ago. Just found it again after moving house and thought I'd read it. I used to love all the Hardy Boys books.

Hopefully I'll like some of the others a bit more. I loved that my hometown Cleveland, Ohio was referenced in this story. The overall story is fabulous. It covers Indians on the reservation and in society. It briefly touches on a little known group of Indians known for the work building skyscrapers. The Smtihsonian Museum did an exhibit. I love how they interwove Indian history in the Hardy Boy story line. You do not have to read all the previous Hardy Boy stories to appreicate this story. Great read. The plot of this Hardy Boys mystery is as complicated and difficult to summarize as Dickens's "Little Dorrit," and like that great novel, lends itself readily to a Marxist interpretation, since everything in it revolves around the theme of money - old coins, rare coins, counterfeit coins, buried coins, stolen coins, hidden coins, and of course the melted coins of the title. Freudians could also have a fun time with such episodes as the revelation of Aunt Gertrude's (clearly fetishistic) secret, and the homoerotic scene in which a maniac sailor captures Joe Hardy and starts to tattoo him on the chest! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
