<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3744689, member: 87200&quot;]One hopes that the closed monetary system was less susceptible to the factors that caused inflation in the Empire&#039;s economy in the 3rd century A.D. However the declining weight and fabric of the billon tetradrachm between the years, for example, between 235 and 280 A.D. suggests that Egypt, too, was probably impacted by the devaluation and debasement of the antoninianus, so that the wealthy citizens of Egypt started feeling pinched and may not have been able to maintain an effective gain of 25% on foreign monetary transactions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
