<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 3549277, member: 56370&quot;]The main questions for me would be how quickly the debasement took place, and what that did to the rate of inflation.&nbsp; If inflation was steady and predictable, people may not have been too concerned.&nbsp; The coins I carry around in my pocket are very much debased and are only worth 4-5% of the purchasing power those same denominations had 100 years ago.&nbsp; However, that means nothing to my personal standard of living.&nbsp; The only thing that really&nbsp; matters is how much I can buy with the coins, pieces of paper and blips on the computer screen that I get paid for the work that I do.&nbsp; I can’t imagine that citizens of Ancient Rome looked at things much differently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
