Answer:
Muhammad bin tughlaq has lost a great deal of his wealth due to bad decisions. He decided to introduce token currency in brass and copper , in place of gold and silver. The sutan issued an order that people should use and accept coins just like gold and silver coins .
The new sultan issued the copper coins in place of Silver Tanka as a token currency. But he failed to realize that the issuing authority should be under the king only. As a consequence, every household started making the copper coins. The token money lost its value and its credit which made the government poor.
