Was it gradual or a crash &amp; burn?<\/strong> The coinage allows us to sort out the fact from the opinion. &#8230; The coinage reflects the economic crisis providing us with a timeline rather than just opinion. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The cost of the Peloponnesian War and the loss of Athens to Sparta was clearly visible in its coinage. Two years before the surrender of Athens, its coinage was debased to bronze silver plated. The coinage stands as a witness to the same patterns of inflation created by war. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The cost of war has historically had always been inflationary. In Lydia, where coins were first invested, we can see the reduced weight as the cost of war increased against Cyrus the Great of Persia. In ancient times, the profits to the victor were often great. But the loss to the vanquished often led to their citizens being sold into slavery. Today, governments wage war more often for the private benefit of select groups rather than the state. The invasion of Iraq made billionaires out of Cheney\u2019s friends and left the American people with endless trillions in debt that will last collecting interest to constantly roll indefinitely until the crash and burn.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps nobody wants to look at the evidence coins provide us because they do not like the conclusion. The one thing this research has provided is a glimpse of the futility of our situation and how governments will never learn anything from history. 12\/05\/18 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/armstrongeconomics101\/economics\/do-coins-reveal-the-futility-of-our-times\/\">https:\/\/www.armstrongeconomics.com\/armstrongeconomics101\/economics\/do-coins-reveal-the-futility-of-our-times\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Consider also the following from the <em>Money Project<\/em> about how the Roman Empire collapsed. Could the same happen to the USA? :<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Roman Debasement<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The major silver coin used during the first 220 years of the empire was the denarius.<\/p>\n<p>This coin, between the size of a modern nickel and dime, was worth approximately a day\u2019s wages for a skilled laborer or craftsman. During the first days of the Empire, these coins were of high purity, holding about 4.5 grams of pure silver.<\/p>\n<p>However, with a finite supply of silver and gold entering the empire, Roman spending was limited by the amount of denarii that could be minted.<\/p>\n<p>This made financing the pet-projects of emperors challenging. How was the newest war, thermae, palace, or circus to be paid for?<\/p>\n<p>Roman officials found a way to work around this. By decreasing the purity of their coinage, they were able to make more \u201csilver\u201d coins with the same face value. With more coins in circulation, the government could spend more. And so, the content of silver dropped over the years.<\/p>\n<p>By the time of Marcus Aurelius, the denarius was only about 75% silver. Caracalla tried a different method of debasement. He introduced the \u201cdouble denarius\u201d, which was worth 2x the denarius in face value. However, it had only the weight of 1.5 denarii. By the time of Gallienus, the coins had barely 5% silver. Each coin was a bronze core with a thin coating of silver. The shine quickly wore off to reveal the poor quality underneath.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The Consequences<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The real effects of debasement took time to materialize.<\/p>\n<p>Adding more coins of poorer quality into circulation did not help increase prosperity \u2013 it just transferred wealth away from the people, and it meant that more coins were needed to pay for goods and services.<\/p>\n<p>At times, there was runaway inflation in the empire. For example, soldiers demanded far higher wages as the quality of coins diminished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody should have any money but I, so that I may bestow it upon the soldiers.\u201d \u2013 Caracalla, who raised soldiers pay by 50% near 210 AD.<\/p>\n<p>By 265 AD, when there was only 0.5% silver left in a denarius, prices skyrocketed 1,000% across the Roman Empire.<br \/>\nOnly barbarian mercenaries were to be paid in gold.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The Effects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>With soaring logistical and admin costs and no precious metals left to plunder from enemies, the Romans levied more and more taxes against the people to sustain the Empire.<\/p>\n<p>Hyperinflation, soaring taxes, and worthless money created a trifecta that dissolved much of Rome\u2019s trade.<br \/>\nThe economy was paralyzed.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the 3rd century, any trade that was left was mostly local, using inefficient barter methods instead of any meaningful medium of exchange.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The Collapse<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>During the crisis of the 3rd century (235-284 A.D), there may have been more than 50 emperors. Most of these were murdered, assassinated, or killed in battle.<\/p>\n<p>The empire was in a free-for-all, and it split into three separate states.<\/p>\n<p>Constant civil wars meant the Empire\u2019s borders were vulnerable. Trade networks were disintegrated and such activities became too dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Barbarian invasions came in from every direction. Plague was rampant.<\/p>\n<p>And so the Western Roman Empire would cease to exist by 476 A.D. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2017-01-02\/currency-collapse-roman-empire\">http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2017-01-02\/currency-collapse-roman-empire<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here is some information related to the USA:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Make Believe Money<\/h2>\n<p>&#8230; Here\u2019s a little ditty for you that you didn\u2019t see on TV, or hear on the radio or read in the newspaper about the quality of jobs that have been added for the past 2 years: since 2014, the U.S. has added 450,000 waiters and bartenders, and no Manufacturing workers. Boy, I sure get good service when I belly up the bar these days. And here\u2019s another ditty. Since 2014, the oil and gas producers have cut 200,000 jobs. But I don\u2019t recall hearing anyone talk about that. Hmmm\u2026<\/p>\n<p>And wanna know something else about the jobs data? Well, notice above that I highlighted the words \u201cseasonally adjusted\u201d. That means 233,000 jobs were added by the BLS with their Birth\/Death Model. These are \u201cmake believe\u201d jobs folks, and without the \u201cSeasonal adjustment\u201d we would have had negative job growth in April. But we certainly can\u2019t allow the markets and investors know that! Oh heaven! The Humanity! With \u201cmake believe\u201d jobs you get \u201cmake believe\u201d labor markets, but don\u2019t let that get in the way of all those that keep saying that the U.S. economy is doing fine.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of \u201cmake believe\u201d\u2026 I\u2019m going to borrow a quote from my friend, James Powell, who had this to say in his latest letter:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The Fed has been pumping huge amounts of make believe money into the economy to get it going again, and it hasn\u2019t worked. That should be no surprise to anyone but the government. With \u2018make believe Money\u2019 you get a \u2018make believe recovery\u2019.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Alright, I have to stop there on all this craziness regarding the labor markets. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s FX reserves edged higher in April $6.4 billion, and that follows a $10.3 billion gain in March. So, if there\u2019s no so-called Shanghai Accord, in place to stabilize the renminbi, then this is the miracle of Marco Polo! The renminbi is basically flat vs. the dollar so far this year, and that\u2019s a lot like holding the renminbi before the Chinese broke the peg to the dollar in July 2005! But there\u2019s a caveat here that we didn\u2019t have pre-2005, and that is the de-dollarization that\u2019s going on with China and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of Russia\u2026 did you hear what Russia has done now to move their de-dollarization plans further down the road? It appears Russia is close to taking the next big step towards de-dollarization and killing the petro-dollar as Vladimir Putin\u2019s \u201cdream\u201d of ruble-based pricing of its domestically-produced oil is on the verge of realization. SPIMEX (The St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange) is actively courting international oil traders to join its emerging futures market, which as Bloomberg reports, is designed \u201cto create a system where Russian oil is priced and traded in a fair and straightforward way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>F. William Engdahl was quoted as saying, \u201cThis move could deal a dramatic blow to the petrodollar\u2019s dominance\u201d. You think? WOW. A new Mr. Obvious for us today! &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>For What It\u2019s Worth. It\u2019s not every day that I get to quote the great James Grant, he of the Interest Rate Observer newsletter that has strict rules about using snippets of his letter. But when he gives an interview with someone else, then it\u2019s all fair game, and nothing makes me smile larger regarding this stuff than finding an interview with James Grant. So, the interview is really long, but you can find it all at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\">ZeroHedge<\/a> it was post last Friday, or opt for the snippet:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Diminishing returns is the essential problem of the debt: Past a certain level of encumbrance, a marginal dollar of borrowing loses its punch. There\u2019s a moral dimension to the problem as well. There would be less debt if people were more angelic. Non-angels, the taxpayers underpay, the bureaucrats over-remit and everyone averts his gaze from the looming titanic cost of future medical entitlements. Topping it all is 21st-century monetary policy, which fosters the credit formation that leads to the debt dead end. The debt dead end may, in fact, be upon us now. A monetary dead end could follow.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Thus, the thought processes of Janet Yellen\u2019s predecessor. Reading him, we are struck, as ever, by his clinical detachment. Does the deployment of helicopter money not entail some meaningful risk of the loss of confidence in a currency that is, after all, undefined, uncollateralized and infinitely replicable at exactly zero cost? Might trust be shattered by the visible act of infusing the government with invisible monetary pixels and by the subsequent exchange of those images for real goods and services? The former Fed chairman seems not to consider the question- certainly, he doesn\u2019t address it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To us, it is the great question. Pondering it, as we say, we are bearish on the money of overextended governments. We are bullish on the alternatives enumerated in the Periodic table. It would be nice to know when the rest of the world will come around to the gold-friendly view that central bankers have lost their marbles. We have no such timetable. The road to confetti is long and winding.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Chuck again. James Grant says that \u201cwe judge that the government\u2019s money is a short sale.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/make-believe-money\/\">http:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/make-believe-money\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let me try to summarize some of this.<\/p>\n<p>Governments have debased currency by putting more into circulation than was warranted. They have done that with using cheaper metals and other ways, hoping that all would be well. But this leads to inflation and other problems.<\/p>\n<p>The USA has created money out of thin air (which its debt as well as previously &#8216;quantitative easing&#8217; programs have done) in order to create jobs (get politicians re-elected). Under US Presidents Obama and Trump, official US debt has skyrocketed.<\/p>\n<p>Russia and China (and others) are working to topple the dominance of the US dollar as the world&#8217;s reserve currency. The US dollar is actually backed by NOTHING, but because oil producers mainly price oil in dollars, this has given the appearance of the US dollar being backed. This, of course, is make believe, as at some point oil producers could change this. And Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, and others are working to not price oil in US dollars.<\/p>\n<p>And then there is the problem of debt. As I have reported here repeatedly, the US is the most indebted nation of all time. While many political leaders act like this can go on indefinitely, that is simply not true.<\/p>\n<p>The US dollar used to be backed by gold and silver. Yet now, because the US dollar is not truly backed by anything tangible (other than a semi-agreement with Saudi Arabia to price oil in dollars), the excess production of US dollars via debt\/quantitative easing dilutes the value. This is a modern form of \u2018dross\u2019 (a coin that is worth less than it appears because it is not pure silver or gold despite its outward appearance).<\/p>\n<p>As far as currency debasement of &#8216;hard money&#8217; goes, starting in 1965 the USA started to remove silver from its then silver coins and replace it with cheaper metals. As reported earlier in this post, that has been done by others in the past.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/diocletian-coin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"210\" \/><br \/>\nDiocletian Antoninianus (Photo by Sosius11)<\/em><br style=\"text-align: center;\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Governments have devalued their currencies by making their coins \u2018dross\u2019 and this has led to various problems throughout history. Related to the Romans, <em>Wikipedia<\/em> noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The <strong>Antoninianus<\/strong> was a coin used during the Roman Empire thought to have been valued at 2 denarii. It was initially silver, but was slowly debased to bronze. The coin was introduced by Caracalla in early 215 \u2026<\/p>\n<p>But even at its introduction the silver content was only equal to 1.5 denarii. This helped create inflation \u2013 people rapidly hoarded the denarii, while both buyers and sellers recognised the new coin had a lower intrinsic value and elevated their prices to compensate. Silver bullion supplies were running short since the Roman Empire was no longer conquering new territory, the Iberian silver mines were exhausted and a series of soldier emperors and usurpers needed coin to pay their troops and buy their loyalty. So each new issue of the antoninianus had less silver in it than the last, and each contributed to ever increasing inflation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, it was a \u2018dross\u2019 coin. The USA continues to try to cheapen its remaining coins as well.<\/p>\n<p>This diluting of the value of coinage\/currency is condemned in the Bible:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>4 Take away the dross from silver (Proverbs 25:4a).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>22 Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water. (Isaiah 1:22)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>25 I will turn My hand against you, And thoroughly purge away your dross, And take away all your alloy. (Isaiah 1:25)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>18 \u201cSon of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all bronze, tin, iron, and lead, in the midst of a furnace; they have become dross from silver. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: \u2018Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 20 As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you. 21 Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst. 22 As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have poured out My fury on you.\u2019\u201d (Ezekiel 22:18-22)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although the Bible warns against using dross and diluting the money supply, modern \u2018experts\u2019 have a different view. The wrong views on economics will lead to economic problems and ultimately the total crash of the dollar of the USA. Economic problems in Europe may well propel the rise of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/europa.htm\">Beast power<\/a> that the Bible warns about.<\/p>\n<p>The USA has repeatedly proven that economic pressures result in its increasing its debt.
