Example sentencesExamples - The remedy was to implement a de jure gold standard so as to free England from the effects of Gresham's law and to keep token silver coins in circulation.
- A final and vital flaw in a market-basket dollar is that Gresham's law would result in perpetual shortages and surpluses of different commodities within the market basket.

- As a result, the dollar must decline. The result of a declining dollar is logically a move towards other currencies which in itself is a form of Gresham's law.
- There is a Gresham's law of culture as well as of money: the bad drives out the good, unless the good is defended.
