<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 12316835, member: 72790&quot;]And how many Frenchmen are concerned about that? My guess is not too many and I think this may be applied, mutatis mutandis, to the average Roman. From the literary evidence the inflation was so extended and not much noticeable to&nbsp; the average man in the streets that he was not paying much attention to the gradual changes. I think a good case can be made for causal factors of inflation other than debasement which was a response to other economic factors rather than the cause of them. How many Americans were horrified by the ending of a silver coinage in the 1960&#039;s or the inability to redeem silver certificates in actual silver? Like those Frenchmen, not very many. As long as the toll booth collectors and vending machines took those new cupro-nickel quarters few cared what they were made of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
