Price–specie flow mechanism

The price–specie flow mechanism is like a game between people playing with imaginary coins. When one person buys something from another person, they have to give them imaginary coins, and when one person sells something to another person, they get imaginary coins. Then, the person who gave away the coins can take those same coins and use them to buy something from someone else. This goes back and forth until all the imaginary coins have been used. The game of price–specie flow works to keep the prices of things steady because when the price of something goes up, people are more likely to sell it, which means they will get more imaginary coins. Then they can use the extra coins to buy something else, which helps keep the price of that item steady.
