<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 2647124, member: 19409&quot;]I remember reading about one papyrus contract from I think the later third century AD where it specified that it was to be payed in &quot;good silver,&quot; which would have to be older coinage before whatever level of debasement they decided was unacceptable.&nbsp; It makes me think that it might be more useful to talk about levels of circulation rather than treating it as a binary thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
