What was once pure silver/gold become alloys, coins were clipped or made smaller, common copper replaced precious metals for the same stated face values. In fact, the Romans engaged in serious “money printing” and highly inflationary policies such as price controls, or controls on labor (forcing labor to stay on the farms) which led to the system of serfdom in the middle-ages.
There is nothing new under the Sun. Mankind keeps making the same mistakes over and over again.
