Bava Metzia 52: Eroded Coins
Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

A new mishnah! The erosion of minted coins, and its diminished value, with the potential for fraud in using it, as the metal is worn away. Subject to a dispute between our mishnah and a beraita.

Plus, the application of a "generosity of spirit."
