GRESHAM'S LAW: A principle stating that bad money drives good money out of circulation. For this law to apply an economy clearly needs two types of money, one considered good and the other considered bad. Good and bad money in this context has nothing to do with the propensity to torture small animals or attempts at world domination. Good and bad are based on the official value in exchange versus value in use. Gold and silver, which were both used as money in the U.S. Economy in the 1800s, provides an illustration. Silver took on the role of "bad money" because it was relatively less value in use than gold. As such, people used silver as everyday money and stockpiled, or hoarded, gold. The silver bad money drove the gold good money out of circulation.

There's more we need to consider about supply. First the supply price. Supply price is the minimum price that sellers would be willing and able to accept for a given quantity of a good. - Sellers have an lower limit on the price that they would be willing and able to accept for a good, compared to the upper limit of the demand price.
- Sellers are willing and able to accept a higher price. In fact, they would be glad to sell a good for a billion dollars... or more.
- The minimum supply price is based on the fact of economic life that people prefer more to less.
