问题 no longer differs issuing
A. Good money (62)______from bad money
B. make a profit in coinage by (63)______coins
C. Silver coins are (64)______in circulation
    Less than 40 years ago in the United States, it was common to change a one-dollar bill for a dollar’s worth of silver. That is because the coins were actually made of silver. But those days are gone. There is no silver in today’ s coins. When the price of the precious metal rises above its face value as money, the metal will become more valuable in other uses.

    Because different mixings of coins had different amounts of gold and silver, even though they bore the same face value, some coins were worth more than others as commodities. People who dealt with gold and silver could easily see the difference between the " good" and the " bad money. Gresham observed that coins with a higher content of gold and silver were kept rather than being used in exchange, or were melted down for their precious metal. In the mid-1960s when the U.S. issued new coins to replace silver coins, Gresham’ s law went right in action.
