Thanks Michael. I misunderstood the line "More valuable currencies will drive out less valuable ones" to mean that the valuable currencies were good money/gold bars.
Hi Matt. No, Gresham's law states that 'bad money drives out good', that is, if you have paper dollars and gold bars in circulation simultaneously, the existence of the paper will drive the bars out of circulation, in that people will hoard them, and use the paper to spend - to get rid of it as fast as possible.
I love these videos but shouldn't the graphic at :38 read "Good money drives out bad" instead of the reverse way it is written now? I don't mean to nit pik but this has me puzzled? This Gresham character sounds the Jim Crammer of the 16th century.
