Great Recoinage / 大重铸

Great Recoinage is the English monetary repair effort at the center of 26.牛顿与伪币制造者：可能是斯内普的原型？. The source presents it as a response to clipped coins, counterfeits, silver outflow, old hand-struck coinage, newer machine-struck coinage, war-finance pressure, and the breakdown of small-money circulation.

The concept extends Currency Credit by showing how money can fail materially and institutionally at once. A coin shortage is not only a shortage of metal; it is also a shortage of trusted denominations, recognizable quality, enforceable anti-counterfeiting rules, and production capacity at the [[RoyalMint|Royal Mint]].

Key Claims

• A currency system can break when face value, metal value, and market trust diverge too far.
• Recoinage is a state-capacity operation: it needs policy choice, public acceptance, factories, machinery, labor, logistics, and enforcement.
• Maintaining old silver content avoided formal debasement but made the production and replacement burden harder.
• The crisis made Gresham’s Law / 劣币驱逐良币 visible in everyday exchange.
