A Maze of Medieval Monetary Metrology: Determining Mint Weights in Flanders, France and England from the Economics of Counterfeiting, 1388 - 1469
Munro discusses whether the marcs de Troyes used in the French, Flemish, and other mints of the Low Countries had precisely the same mass or weight during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and whether they maintained the same weight until the metric conversion of 1795. The answer to these questions is crucial in making any comparisons of coin issues and mint outputs in the various countries and regions of later medieval and early modern Europe, and is equally important for understanding the nature of their price movements.

Deflation and the petty coinage problem in the late-medieval economy: The case of Flanders, 1334–1484
Monetary historians have debated whether too many or too few petty coins, those most needed by the general populace, were struck in medieval Europe. But exactly how many were struck can be determined only for Flanders, where petty coinage usually accounted for 1% or less of the bullion minted. These mint-output statistics are explained in part by the demand for high-denomination coins by most merchants who supplied bullion to the mints; but equally also by the relatively small need to replace stocks of petty coin. Severe petty-coin scarcity was not likely a chronic condition in medieval Flanders, but did occur in the deflationary mid-fifteenth century, instigating innovations in state monetary policy.
