Whoops.  That is Gresham's law, not Grishim's law.

Here is a description as it applies to legal tender:

Here is a commentary:

The adage is that bad money will drive out good.  It applies to the  
circulation of legal tender.  I applied it in a slightly different  
way in that there are market forces that push people to qualify for  
using the money that is worth less gold when buying Revolution.  As  
the dollar falls, it will be spent instead of pounds for the same items.
