What was Copernicus's main idea about money?

Answered in Nicolaus Copernicus's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My central tenet regarding money, as detailed in *Monetae Cudendae Ratio*, is that when two currencies of differing intrinsic values are in circulation simultaneously, the one of lesser value will inevitably drive out the one of greater value. This occurs because people will naturally spend the debased money and hoard the sound money. Therefore, maintaining the integrity and consistent value of coinage is paramount for a stable economy and preventing economic harm.
