# Public Debt Reduction Through Debasement

The practice of reducing the real value of public debt by decreasing the
precious metal content of coins while maintaining their nominal value, effectively
allowing governments to pay creditors with less valuable currency.

debasing their currency, using the Roman example of reducing the copper content
of the As to pay debts with only a fraction of their real value.
