Abstract

The Gresham’s Law is among the most known laws of economic science. In its popular version, the law is telling that when a government overvalues one type of money and undervalues another, the undervalued money disappears while the overvalued money floods into circulation. Named after Thomas Gresham, a financier of Tudor dynasty, this law was stated by Nicole Oresme and Nicolaus Copernicus. Here we discuss it and follow its long history.
