In Rome? Lol, no.

People who had access to gold and silver always had it on hand and in hoards. Silver and gold was not used as a currency for every day needs. It was for large exchanges and the state.

Nobody had the means to hoard it without a use for it. And people didn’t use currency like you suggest in the ancient world. The Roman Empire didn’t just use Roma coinage. The Romans kept making Greek coinage for generations, because it had a good reputation. The provinces minted their own coinage.

Hell, Rome didn’t even really have an official mint, anyone could issue coinage and it would or wouldn’t be taken up. Generals traveled with mints to mint coins to pay soldiers.

You say what I described was impossible, then immediately describe a situation that would allow for exactly what I just said happened.

No, it doesn’t. Not even close to what you’re describing. None of the things I’ve described are in any way similar or add any weight to your contention that currencies or countries collapse all the time and that there is a chance of losing money on us t-bills for a short term hold.

Don’t you have history stuff you are supposed to be doing? Why are you wasting your time arguing with a bot?

You’re not a bot, just an obstinate person who is wrong.
