If the Philippine didnt withdraw the one piso cuni coin its worth 2.58 peso already no need for other adjustment,it means that a cuni piso increase its value intrinsically.
What happen to the salary then on that time when cuni piso is already high,does it mean that a minimum wage earner increase on product he can purchase??in a way increase his wages even it is around 300-400??
In debasement of steel piso does it mean that a minimum wage earner decrease its wages not knowing it even it is still 400 piso,that the prices are all going up and debasement of piso and Philippine currency even it is 400,we know because we felt it everyday.
4dollars for a Lb of copper*40 exchange rate 160/62 pcs to be made in one Lb of copper, additional or multiply it by 2 or 5 to have its purchasing power not only to its metal content only but also as a maximum valueof a cuni piso coin, the lowest is its metal content,it can be up to 5 to 10 piso it does not mean that the exact value of metal content is same value that you can buy product there is a iota to the metal content to the cost in making one coin and the government can add a little more as a buffer for inflation or other reason.
Meaning the value of piso in metal content decrease same of its purchasing power,inflation of raw material and product through debasement,or debasement through inflation of metal prices.
They can keep it as it is and adjust the value of piso.
