Pin Money is an 1831 novel by the British writer Catherine Gore, originally published in three volumes.[1] It was part of the group of silver fork novels published during the later Regency era that focuses on life in the fashionable British upper classes.[2] The Westminster Review considered the male characters to be more skilfully drawn than the female.[3] Another review suggested that there was too much product placement in the novel, advertising the goods of various London shops.[4]
