# Public Debt Reduction Through Debasement
|
||||
|
||||
# Definition
|
||||
|
||||
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.
