This is the profit made by striking base metal coins, and was a large part of imperial revenue many times. You force acceptance at the point of a sword a lower value coin, and put the profit into paying off your soldiers to stay in power. This will work to an extent that the economy can absorb new coinage, but there is a physical limit as to how much coinage an economy can absorb.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overstriking someone else&#039;s coin doesn&#039;t make you any profit if you had to pay full value for that coin. Only from raw materials do you make this profit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
