Roman money finally became worthless because when Rome stopped conquering new lands, no new sources of wealth were available. Food was scarce. Making food prices go up. To pay for the food, the government decided to produce more money in the form of coins. The value of depended on the amount of silver in them. But since the government didn't have much silver, in put less and less value in the coins. (This is called inflation.) If inflation isn't controlled, money has less and less value. Roman coins soon became worthless.

If you lost money on a financial institution stock can you claim it as a loss?
Yes, if you sold the stock for less than your basis or if there was an event that caused your stock to become worthless during the year. Note that this does not apply if the stock was in a tax-sheltered account such as an IRA or a 401k. If a bank went out of business causing the stock to become worthless, you can claim it as a loss. If the value of the stock went from $200 a share to $.02 a share, it is not yet worthless -- no deduction until you sell it.
