That's not entirely true - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham's_law. "which states that when government compulsorily overvalues one money and undervalues another, the undervalued money will leave the country or disappear into hoards, while the overvalued money will flood into circulation" i.e. "bad money drives out good *if their exchange rate is set by law*".
