BLUF: Constantine the Great restored confidence in Roman currency by standardizing and minting large quantities of the solidus gold coin, which was widely accepted for trade and commerce across the world. However, debasement eventually led to the solidus losing its value, and alternative coins like the ducat and florin emerged, displacing the solidus forever. The potential loss of the US dollar as the dominant global reserve currency is now a mainstream idea, and countries like China are pushing for the use of their currency in trade, which could have significant economic implications.
