Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing by Jacob Goldstein.
The book gives a fantastic journey through the history of money (I'm currently in the chapter about how John Law crashed the French economy by creating the first central bank). Goldstein isn't so much a Bitcoiner, and is somewhat critical of it and the gold standard at times. However, he gives fantastic analysis and historical context to money that I have scarcely (ha) seen elsewhere.
