 Gresham’s Law - Economics Dictionary of Arguments
 
Gresham's Law: Gresham's Law in economics states, "Bad money drives out good money." It means that when two currencies of different value circulate, people tend to hoard the currency with higher intrinsic value (good money) and use the less valuable one (bad money) in transactions, causing good money to disappear from circulation. See also Money, Bimetallism, Gold standard, Central banks.
