    The Fall of Roman Empire Monetary System and the Future of the US Dollar - Inflation?

    Send a text

    Will this happen to the US Dollar?

    Uncover the lessons from the past that could safeguard our economic future, as Colin Horan joins us to connect the dots between Rome's ancient currency crises and today's monetary policy challenges. We're promised a journey through the empire's fiscal collapse, focusing on the parallels between the silver dilution in Roman coins and modern fiat currency manipulation. Horan expertly navigates us through the historical narrative, from the silver-laden coins of Augustus to Caracalla's Antoninianus, and the implications these monetary decisions had on Rome's economy, public trust, and ultimately, their society.

    Witness the stark consequences of ancient hyperinflation and currency devaluation as they unfold in the Roman Empire, a cautionary tale that resonates alarmingly with our time. We're not just recounting history; we're discussing the dire effects of economic decisions and the patterns that seem to recur throughout human civilization. From emperors appeasing armies with unsustainable wages to Diocletian's desperate Edict on Maximum Prices, we scrutinize the devastating impact these choices had on trade, public confidence, and the very fabric of Roman life. With Horan's insights, this episode becomes a mirror reflecting the potential future of modern economies flirting with similar fiscal perils.

    As the clang of old coins reverberates through history, we sit down with Matthew Tavory,  a coin dealer with a penchant for the tales told by shipwreck and siege coins. Remember that wheat penny you might have found as a kid and the rush of excitement it brought? Well, Matthew's childhood fascination with coins has navigated him through history's choppy waters, leading to a treasure chest of knowledge. Together, we explore the drama and urgency captured in the metal and craftsmanship of coins from bygone eras, which, like silent witnesses, recount stories of desperation and survival.

    The episode takes a darker turn as we unearth a segment of Dutch history stained with political strife and bloodshed, featuring the de Witt brothers' tragic end—an event that still sends shivers down one's spine. From the grisly past to the precision of the present, I peel back the curtain on my days grading coins at NGC, revealing the art and science behind the process that distinguishes a Silver Eagle's grade. This is where history's whispers meet today's scrutiny, ensuring that the coins you collect bear the mark of authenticity they deserve.

    We wrap up with the murky depths of counterfeit coins and fake certificates— a cautionary tale that underscores the importance of provenance when diving into the numismatic market. Our chat also touches on the innovative ways Matthew sails through coin sales using Instagram, a platform that's proven to be a treasure map for collectors. Plus, a quick detour into sports talk reminds us that even amidst the luster of the past, the present holds its own adventures. Join us for this numismatic journey, where coins tell their stories and history comes alive in our hands.
