Old Coppernose
Constant warfare and overspending are causing a shortage of bullion needed to produce coinage. We must seek to reduce the amount of precious metal in Gold and Silver coins or risk an ongoing shortage until spending is reigned in. A favorable alternative would be Copper, which is cheap and easy to procure. Any debasement is likely to be discovered by merchants which will see a drop in our currency's value.

14491historical_info = flavor_eng.148.historical_info The Great Debasement was a deliberate devaluation of the English currency during the reign of Henry VIII, which saw the amount of precious metals in gold and silver reduced while maintaining their face value. The goal was to generate additional revenue for the Crown and at a point, copper constituted such a high percentage that the thin layer of silver would wear off over the protruding nose of the King's portrait, earning the King the nickname of 'Old Coppernose'.
